Advantages: Funny Disadvantages: Feel like the joke has been done before
...right, unless your name is Dave Gorman.
Dave thinks that he has grown up since his last adventure; he is now 31, and he has now ended his flat-share with Danny, and all that is left is a bottle of Tequila with a note on it reading “For Emergencies Only”. Dave decides to prove his new “grown-up” status by growing a beard and getting a deal to write a novel. One day whilst sitting at his computer trying to start the novel (he had got as far as writing ...

Advantages: A Good Fun Book Disadvantages: Could Start You On a Time Consuming Internet Game
...study the results. So when Dave Gorman wrote a book about Googlewhacking he combined the Internet with humour to produce an intriguing and must read book that I simply could not ignore.
As Dave Gorman skipped through his inbox one morning little did he know his life was about to change dramatically. Amongst the offers of cheap Viagra and even cheaper Ink cartridges was an intriguingly titled email from an unknown sender, the email was titled “Googlewhack” ...

Advantages: Funny and quite interesting really Disadvantages: A tad unbelievable in places
...would be a review of Dave Gorman's debut novel.
But, like just about everyone who works from home, the comic was just too easily distracted to actually get down to the work for which he'd been handsomely paid.
Unlike the rest of us, though, Gorman's displacement activities went a bit further than cleaning the oven or cataloguing his CD collection. Instead, he embarked on an adventure that took him several times around the globe, running up a ...

Who is Dave Gorman?
----------------------------------
Quite a question. There are actually 55 well known Dave Gormans. There is the original and the 54 that he found on his search for people who share his name. This is included in another of his books.
This was the first time I ever heard of him on a BBC2 show called "The Dave Gorman Collection" based on the book. He was challenged and ...

Any good? Search me! Review ofDave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure - Dave Gormanby
Drooboy
Advantages: Nice structure, interesting premise Disadvantages: Flimsy on the details, drops away in second half
...turn of the year 2003, Dave Gorman found himself at Heathrow Airport with a ticket to Washington, D.C., his passport and a hazy memory of the night before. As things become less fuzzy, he remembers his drunken acceptance of a mission to find a chain of ten googlewhacks in a row. This book chronicles this mission through the highs and lows, and comes on the back of a sell-out tour where the adventure was chronicled. I didn’t see that tour, but I hope ...

Go On - Googlewhack ME! Review ofDave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure - Dave Gormanby
MBailey
Advantages: Sooooo Funny Disadvantages: None!
...Following on from "Are YOU Dave Gorman" this book is just as funny if not more so. Dave is just so naturaully funny in everything he does, says and writes.
I expect that a lot of people reading this review have never heard of Googlewhacking. Before you start to be rather concerned, its nothing perverted! Its where you type two words into the Google search engine which are both in the English Language (defined as being listed on the www.dictionary.com ...

GoogleGorman Review ofDave Gorman's Googlewhack Adventure - Dave Gormanby
Schmit
Advantages: annoyingly funny, frustrating, heartwarming Disadvantages: could lead you to waste your life
Although Dave Gorman had no intention of writing this particular book at the beginning of his little 'adventure' im very glad that he did as it kept me extremely entertained to the point of when i finished it, it led me to buy a home pc.
Googlewhacking is an internet game which leads Dave around the world, and if the bloke wasnt so damn believable you'd think he was making it up. (note - look for Daves upper left arm for the proof this story is no ...

Advantages: Very Funny and well written. Disadvantages: You will try and find a googlewhack !
...insight into the mind of Dave Gorman. Following on from his legendary "Are you Dave Gorman? " book, Dave embarks on yet another mental mission.
This time he is trying to string together ten Googlewhacks in a row. Googlewhacking is played with the internet search engine of choice, Google. In order to play this game, you have to enter two words into Google with the aim to just get 1 single result returned, that being 1 page from the 4 billion that ...
