They've always been mad tbh, but I loved their books.
In one of their A level Maths books they have a random page near the middle about cows.

Couldn't stop laughing all the way through; CGP really know how to keep us focused while revising :teehee:

They had it in physics as well.

CGP are the best. And their books were really good content wise as well... (I thought)

Ths jokes in CGP books are about as funny as stepping on a Lego brick.

I really found those books annoying tbh, i tried using two of them back at GCSE, but the amount of useless boring jokes got on my nerves.

Still, whatever helps you to revise, if people find that sort of stuff works for them, go for it! everyone has their own revision technique :P

When you are reading about chemistry, it's hilarious.

I'll try to illustrate with this simpsons clip. Couldn't find it in English, but you should get the idea.

That's pretty awesome :awesome:

A bit like the Innocent smoothies cartons!

Having said that, I thought that their GCSE books were pretty crap, just because my preferred method of revising is to write notes about the entire book, sticking the notes into the book as bookmarks. Can't really do it when some entire pages are about total *******s :colonhash:

CGP try way to hard to be funny.

I stopped using their books, I was embarrassed for them. I wanted to learn from somebody that knew what they were taking about, not a failed comedian.
