‘Puerile, reprehensible and very, very funny’ Adam Kay
‘I love Fesshole. Every single one is a masterclass in storytelling’ Jay Rayner
‘Hilarious! The only guide any alien would need to find out what humans are really like’ David Schneider
‘The wild, the wonderful, the frankly unbelievable and the downright disgusting. Under the anonymity of the internet people confess their most embarrassing secrets and it might not be good for their souls, but it’s great for the readers!’ Richard K Herring
It’s confession time, folks! Things have been building up inside of you for too long. Secrets you thought you’d never share with another soul are bubbling to the surface begging for release.
And where better to let it all out (/laugh at someone else’s misfortune) than on the internet.
Fesshole is a Twitter account (@fesshole) which allows people to anonymously confess their innermost thoughts, deepest, darkest secrets, and their most outrageously funny faux pas – but will the online world absolve you of your sins?
This book contains the greatest confessions to date, and a whole heap of new ones.
After all, if you can’t confide in strangers on the internet, who can you tell?

I enjoyed the book, having been intrigued at the concept. Worth a punt if a potential buyer is intrigued at the randomness of the humour.
by Colin Murtagh
It feels like I’ve read this twice. The book is a collection of confessions sent to Fesshole, a Twitter account run by Rob Manuel, where you can anonymously confess to anything you like, and people do.
The book is split into 10 sections, ranging from crime and neighbours, through to family, and of course sex. Each section is then split further, which just breaks up the book a little.
The author has said, he gets so many confessions through, he only picks the best, unique ones. This does lay the book open a little to having some of the confessions being a little difficult to believe.
It is an anthology though, so to be fair if there are a couple you don’t quite like, there’s another one following straight after. There are so many, and on such a wide range of topics, that it’s almost a guarantee that there will be something in here that will make you laugh. And if that doesn’t convince you, there are some beautiful illustrations in there as well.
This is the perfect toilet book. Great for just dipping into

Loved the whole book.
Made me chuckle so many times.
Getting weird looks on the train too.
Maybe I need to pass this book on to the rest of the carriage.????

Book this as a Christmas present for my dad, I always try to get him some kind of humorous book. I wasn’t aware of the twitter so I had a quick flick through this. Like most of these kinda books it’s hit and miss, but when it’s funny it’s very good, recommended as a gift.

Well worth a read! Couldn’t stop laughing numerous times reading this book, and at other times what is written is highly sentimental, and almost made me cry.
