The World According to Manager Mark: Life, Love and Torquay
‘MARK JENKINS IS AN ACCIDENTAL COMEDY GENIUS’ - Daily MailHaving driven into the sunset in the final episode of Channel 4’s The Hotel, Mark Jenkins is back doing what he does best - entertaining the nation. His unique take on life, affable charm, and woefully naïve exploits are all captured with great comedic effect in this, his first book.In The World According to Manager Mark you will discover just what makes this real-life Basil Fawlty tick. Containing Mark’s opinions on everything from AGEING to YORKSHIRE PUDDINGS, from BUS LANES to VEGETARIANS, and featuring VOL-AU-VENTS, INFLATABLES and countless SAUSAGES, this book houses more entertainment than a hotel in peak season.Frank, forthcoming and downright funny, in this A-Z of Mark’s world you’ll find a manifesto for a life in which we discover the difference between naturists and naturalists, umbrellas are categorised as dangerous weapons and green food is banned. Whether you consider yourself rich, poor or normal, and whether you drink real champagne or ‘nearly champagne’, this book contains something for everyone. Even the Queen!What’s more, you might learn a thing or two. UNBELIEVABLE!

I would give The world According to Manager Mark a five Star.
This was very different from what I am used to reading. I love reading fiction books. (Then again this one isn't fiction)
A to Z book is sort of a different. Mark tells this story quite unusual.
Reading this you would find Mark Jenkins to be a funny guy. Although some tales that he speaks of can be quite heartbreaking. So it's not all laughing matters in this case.
Even if he says the book is 100% true. Just be aware of the jokes he can tell during the story to make it more lighthearted. what's the say if you don't laugh you cry.

I really enjoyed this book at first and it was light hearted and good fun after reading quite a drepressing (but brilliant fun) about the first 50 or so pages I really enjoyed this and found it hilarious but that soon wore off and I soon found this book to be samey & a bit boring, don't know why I picked it up really, never mind you live and learn.
