Every Sunday we are taking a look at the world of books. I read a lot and always want to share my opinions on what I read, so I thought it would be fun to write reviews. Today we are looking at a book written by Clarkson Farm’s star Kaleb Cooper.

It’s a Farming Thing: Life According to Kaleb (2024)

Kaleb Cooper

Synopsis

Kaleb Cooper – star of hit TV show Clarkson’s Farm and Sunday Times bestselling author – has been catapulted into the limelight and his new book, Life According to Kaleb, he shares the highs, lows and unexpected adventures of life at Diddly Squat from wrestling with temperamental tractors to dodging the wrath of cantankerous cows and after all that why he still believes he has the best job in the world.

Kaleb reveals his true, loveable, funny and down-to-earth self, with deadpan gags and unique observations that will have you crying with laughter. Utterly hilarious, this is Kaleb as you know and love him, telling the story of how he has become one of the biggest names in farming today.

Positive Points

If you are a fan of Kaleb Cooper then there is a possibility that you may enjoy this book as he delves into lots of different topics and his opinions on them.

Negative Points

This is a book that I personally felt was a bit of a money maker as there was no real substance. It was filled up with lots of pictures to create ‘jokes’ but there is too many of them that it lost the momentum and turned irritating very quickly. It is a book that I found hard to read.

Overall Review

Whilst it is great to have books by stars that you may like on the screen, they may not necessarily transfer to the paper very well. This is one of those books. I thought it would have more in depth detail about farming but it didn’t it was more about popular topics to appeal to all and it just did not work.
