Ayoade on Top
Description
At last, the definitive audiobook about perhaps the best cabin crew dramedy ever filmed: View from the Top starring Gwyneth Paltrow.
In Ayoade on Top, Richard Ayoade, perhaps one of the most 'insubstantial' people of our age, takes us on a journey from Peckham to Paris by way of Nevada and other places we don't care about. It's a journey deep within, in a way that's respectful and non-invasive; a journey for which we will all pay a heavy price, even if you've waited for the smaller paperback edition.
Ayoade argues for the canonisation of this brutal masterpiece, a film that celebrates capitalism in all its victimless glory; one we might imagine Donald Trump himself half-watching on his private jet's gold-plated flat screen while his other puffy eye scans the cabin for fresh, young prey.

Unbelievably witty
You don't need to have seen the movie. Highly recommend the audiobook, as Ayoade's delivery is key to the humor.

If you love Ayoade, this is a must.
Listened to this in the span of a day. I’ve never seen View from the Top and I never plan to watch it. I feel like I understand it better than any other movie after listening to this book though, and I feel like I understand Richard Ayoade as well as myself.
Seriously though, I was laughing out loud at some of the parts in this book. The entire premise is ridiculous and entirely too much time, energy, research, and introspection went into writing a book about a truly mediocre 89 minute movie that no one remembers or saw at time of release. But that’s why we love Richard Ayoade and that’s why this audiobook is so great.

The Story Audio Books Were Made For
A reading of a book about a movie that no one has seen. Loved it.

Only Richard Ayoade could pull this off...
I usually wouldn’t be compelled to buy a 4+ hour dissertation on Veiw from the Top and it’s personal cinematic and cultural/social significance...but Richard Ayoade...so I actually pre ordered this...and was more than pleasantly surprised. I remember the movie and it’s strange semi ensemble cast(lots of cameos and big names in bit parts) but never read so much into it now. Richard does a wonderful job of making you question both his taste level and your own while doing a great job at making his case and convincing you by the end that this movie truly was under-rated and you must watch it, while still taking the absolute piss out of the whole thing, (especially Gwyneth and Goop). mMaking you thankful that Richard is not political because the man could get some truly ridiculous things to pass if he put his mind to it. Brilliant, odd and thoroughly entertaining

A delightful listen
An utterly delightful critique of an odd early 00’s film. Add in tidbits of Ayoade’s life and background and you’ve got a joyous and, at certain points, a laugh out loud read. I will now go purchase a physical copy to keep for always. Ayoade fan for life!

Hilarious and quintessentially Richard Ayoade
Never seen the film, but it’s a wonderful book about so much more than just a GP film.
Definitely enjoyed listening to it and any fan of Richard Ayoade would enjoy the glimpse inside his head that this book provides

A toilet book about a film no one’s seen
I could’ve read Steinbeck, Hemingway or literally anything else I might discuss with friends over coffee, but instead I chose to spend 6 hours watching Top and listening to Ayoade’s critique of it (peppered with bits about him to make up the page count), acquiring a new set of references I won’t be able to exchange with anyone. Top’s bad but not in a ‘so bad it’s good’ way, more like ‘so mediocre I want it to end’, so quite an audacious move by the author to require such gruelling pre-work for a toilet book. Giving five stars to encourage more people to watch Top just in case it’s the next The Room and I’m too frustrated to realise it yet.

Very nice and fun reading from Richard Ayoade
Couldn't keep myself from listening through this in two sittings. Very humorous and enough segways to keep you guessing and entertained.

Loved every minute
Hey Richard, hope you are reading this (Otherwise this would make me look like a fool, trying to address you directly).
Thank you for writing this book and reading it to us. Thank you for overcoming all the anxieties that come with publishing and reading this book!
Thank you for your witty humor and sharp analysis of this seminal film!
My only complaint is that I still have 4 and a half hours left on my train ride, in which I now have to resort to some other form of light entertainment to procrastinate work.
Maybe I should have made made the headline more negative to catch your attention, only to later reveal that I actually really enjoyed listening to your book. Anyway hope you are on the big fat quiz of 2019!
Kind regards,
Carl
