Description
Ever been late? Steve has. Lots. But he always has a good excuse. Here are 101 real corkers for you to enjoy. And maybe even borrow...
- Distracted by a surprisingly complicated Kinder toy
- Overcome by the urge to alphabetise my pets
- Forgot how trousers work
- Became temporarily feral
- Got stuck in a romantic montage
Why Steve Was Late is a book of hilarious (and even—occasionally—plausible!) reasons for tardiness, handily dreamed up and illustrated by someone else.
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
Critics and comedians alike praise the book's humour and creativity. Adam Kay calls it "Funny, ingenious." Josh Widdicombe describes the authors as "absolutely hilarious" and Steve as a "liability." Jo Brand notes it as "great" with a playful nod to her own lateness, while Al Murray recommends stocking up on the book for excuses alone. Michael McIntyre simply says, "I love Steve. He's hilarious."
