Buy Taskmaster: 220 Extraordinary Tasks for Ordinary People by Horne, Alex (ISBN: 9781785944680) from desertcart's Book Store. Everyday low prices and free delivery on eligible orders. Review: Great book; check which version you want - A terrific resource, either to have fun times at parties/events, or to undertake the tasks yourself and participate in the online tasking community, and/or to read for some backstory to the show Taskmaster if you are a fan. However, be careful which version you buy: the paperback is updated with bonus tasks and deletes some of the original ones whose deadlines have passed. But it is no use if you want to take part in the #taskmaster twitter contest with other taskers and see what they did, as the numbering is often different and you will have no idea what is going on in their discussion. I bought it (and enjoyed reading it in isolation, and using it), but I now have to buy the hardback too to understand what task they are talking about and getting points for from Alex. "Make good choices"! Review: Ideal for all little assistants - Good book, providing hours of entertainment. I bought it on kindle for instant access. While this means I can always have it nearby in my handbag, it also means I can’t do some of the real book related tasks as I don’t want my kindle to get sopping wet or engulfed in ice. There are options for solo tasks, and different social occasions and lots of scope for invention. It’s not quite the same without little Alex Horne and Greg’s giant scathing face, but it’s a great way to enjoy some home tasking and bring the essence of taskmaster home.

Great book; check which version you want
A terrific resource, either to have fun times at parties/events, or to undertake the tasks yourself and participate in the online tasking community, and/or to read for some backstory to the show Taskmaster if you are a fan.

This is such a good book!
I loved this book so much! It is funny, hilarious and has so many hidden gems! I think my favourite part about the book is how much it engulfs and captures the attention of all your friends and family, especially in awkward and sad situations. All you need to do is whip this book out of your handbag to impress all the ladies! More, the amount of tasks is endless and i once got sopping wet out in the rain running for three trees faster than my friends! Little Alex Horne is such a talented man well done!

The Taskmaster & the completion of Task 219
Since receiving this book I have been utterly engulfed in its pages, a perfect book to store in a handbag or backpack, reading it has had my eyes watering with laughter to the point that the book has been made sopping wet by my eyeball secretions. Especially in reguard to task number two hundred and nineteen. All praise the glory of the Taskmaster & the diligence of his assistant in the creation of this glorious tome. Now I'll just add some more words at the end to pad out the word count so I can complete the task & done!

#219
An over indulgent cacophony of engaging tasks that have engulfed the fabric of comedy, all squeezed into a Tardis like handbag sized book. From the very moment I opened this exquisite companion to the TV, in book form, my face was sopping wet with pure tears of joy. Buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it, buy it.
