Stephen Fry in America by Stephen Fry

RATING D
I found the title exciting, the fact he was going to cover all of the states exciting, and the fact he was supposedly going to meet 'real life' style Americans rather than celebs exciting - but the book itself was dull.

I quite often had to skip a paragraph or two that covered fishing or hunting style items and found the book lacking in both scope of coverage and interest. I probably learned one or two minor facts from reading it, but not a lot - and I did not appreciate the guy's attitude much. I found him rather 'cough behind the hand' for my liking and do not think he brought out the real American lifestyle at all - not if my real life American friends are anything to go by.
