Back of fag box book review – America Unchained by Dave Gorman

Have been reading his blog for a while now: http://gormano.blogspot.com/
The new show ‘Genius’ sounds like fun.

You’ve never put me wrong yet AJ and this one sounds like it would be a perfect Christmas gift for himself! Thanks!

@Anthony –

Have to agree with you AJ. I first saw the documentary on E4 and then sought out the book. It gave a lot more in terms of little side stories and didn’t repeat a lot of what they shot.

I’m the opposite as I’ve not seen the TV series, but think I might seek out the DVD tomorrow as a b’day present to myself

I’ve only recently started reading his blog as well – yes, it’s good stuff. Genuis is just that too!

@Ursula –

Good for you, AJ, I’d take you on a trip any day. Few, other than an Irishman, notice that one needs to “relax” – whatever mission one is on.

Unhinged, most certainly unchained,

The Woman

Ah sure, we’re all so laid back over here we’re practically horizontal.. Ireland is the Jamaica of Europe dontchaknow.

I’d say it will be even more enjoyable for an American to read. I hope he likes it!

@Paul –

I was really disappointed with the TV show because I didn’t think he came across very well – which is unusual as I’m a big fan and have loved all his other stuff, particularly his stage show.
It is a fanastic idea and yet it didn’t work as a TV show. I felt it was all about a too squeezed, so maybe I should now seek out the book and get the full story/adventure?
Great little review BTW

Definitely do get the book, although I think you’ll find the same vis a vis how well (or not) that he comes across in it. It certainly was a different view of America, and genuinely it was a book I just couldn’t put down.
