Summary
Winner: Popular Non-Fiction Book of the Year – Specsavers National Book Awards 2012
Well hello to you dear audiobook browser. Now I have your attention it would be rude if I didn't tell you a little about my literary feast. So, here is the thing: Is it just me or does anyone else find that adulthood offers no refuge from the unexpected horrors, peculiar lack of physical coordination, and sometimes unexplained nudity that accompanied childhood and adolescence? Does everybody struggle with the hazards that accompany, say, sitting elegantly on a bar stool; using chopsticks; pretending to understand the bank crisis; pedicures - surely it's plain wrong for a stranger to fondle your feet? Or is it just me?
I am proud to say I have a wealth of awkward experiences - from school days to life as an office temp - and here I offer my 18-year-old self (and I hope you, too, dear listener) some much needed caution and guidance on how to navigate life's rocky path. Because frankly where is the manual? The much needed manual to life. Well, fret not, for this is my attempt at one and let's call it, because it's fun, a Miran-ual. I thank you.

some what disapointing
What did you like best about Is It Just Me?? What did you like least?
some of the humour is funny from Miranda ...the voice impression of the eighteen year old irritated me to the core and there was too much of it
What other book might you compare Is It Just Me? to, and why?
I don't think I can compare it so directly to anything I have listen to lately
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
It was not like her stand-up comedy which rattles along
Was Is It Just Me? worth the listening time?
sorry to say no....absolutely not ....from the TV shows I thought she did her herself down
Any additional comments?
her next book should be better.

Perfect pick-me-up
What made the experience of listening to Is It Just Me? the most enjoyable?
The narration by Miranda, it brought the whole thing to life and made it more comical. I literally was laughing out loud throughout as well as learning more about her life. She seems a genuinely likeable person.

Loved it
I always enjoy having a book read by its author, but 'Is it just me' being read by Miranda Hart was a real treat. I thoroughly recommend listening to it on a long journey with friends. The time will fly by.

Very funny!
A very funny book for all those who love Miranda! Not a good one for listening to before bed or getting to sleep though. It will make you chuckle!

Not bad but not the best listen ever
The narration was good and her delivery is very funny but got a bit samey after a while and to be honest I actually found I was relieved when it was finished and I could move on to my next book. I wouldn't recommend it.

It's Not Just You!
Would you listen to Is It Just Me? again? Why?
I would listen to it again as it is, in 18 year old Miranda's words, completely 'amazeballs!' I have already listened to it over and over again!
Who was your favorite character and why?
My favourite character can only be Miranda of course as she is the only one! She is funny and puts new light on things that I hadn't thought about before.
What does Miranda Hart bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?
I think that listening to this on audio book means that you can hear 18-year old Miranda and how she speaks and reacts to what 'Big Miranda' is saying. Sometimes, just the way that 18-year old Miranda speaks makes me laugh! It's just that good!
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
Yes as I loved every second of it! It's like chocolate; extremely moreish! However, because of the long duration I couldn't! It was extremely hard to stop listening to and I was engrossed from the word go.
Any additional comments?
I completely loved this and I would recommend it to anyone, especially a fan of Miranda's show.

Have you listened to any of Miranda Hart’s other performances? How does this one compare?

Laugh, laugh, she is a funny lady
