Reviews
A hilarious account of life with the children of the super rich...well written...and very funny indeed - BOOK OF THE WEEK * Daily Mail * A hilarious, behind-the-scenes memoir of the mad world of the very rich * The Daily Telegraph * Very funny...the book bursts with butlers, helicopters and Damien Hirsts * The Times * Absurdist tales of tutoring the super-rich...a tongue-in-cheek observation of an unfamiliar side to London, entertainingly narrated...and full of farce * Financial Times * An eye-opening insight into the mindset of the super-rich...sharp and very funny...the laughs come thick and fast...but Knott humanises them even while poking fun at their weirdness, giving the book a memorably melancholy bite * Daily Mirror * There are so many laughs in this book, you almost forget how upsetting capitalism is * Simon Amstell * Hilarious... bursts with splendid anecdotes... I nearly fell off my chair laughing * The Spectator * Effortlessly funny. I inhaled A Class of Their Own. It's a cracking read * Nick Pettigrew, Sunday Times bestselling author of Anti-Social * Extremely funny... fizzes with great one-liners * Reader's Digest * I howled with laughter throughout... touching and hilarious in equal measure * Amrou Al-Kadhi, Author of Life as a Unicorn * With his pleasing turn of phrase... Knott is a witty, observant guide * The Week * Deliciously funny and very poignant * Amia Srinivasan, author of The Right to Sex * An unputdownable outsider/insider account of the utter absurdity of the super-rich * Reaction * Matt Knott is a comic genius * Grace Chatto * I laughed aloud. So many times. Finally a book that deconstructs the bizarre and grotesque world of the super rich and is funny, smart and moving while doing it * Tom Rasmussen, Author of Diary of a Drag Queen * A hilarious and timely look behind the curtain of the international super-rich * Michael Walker * One to make you laugh out loud...Knott writes with comic genius...if you loved reading Adam Kay's This is Going to Hurt , then you will also enjoy this * Manx Independent * Amusing and a warning to parents who think parenting can be outsourced * Money Weekly *
