    5 Stars MY MY IT'S AMERICAN FRY Review with images 04/06/2009
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Great compliment to the TV series, full of information

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Very heavy book so not ideal to take stateside with you

    I’m a big fan of Stephen Fry; if I’m honest I would happily listen to him read through a shopping list such are his comforting dulcet tones. I also have a strong desire to visit America – real America that is, not a few days in Disney land Florida or a quick shopping trip to New York. So when I heard that Fry and America were combining to produce a BBC series in which he gets stuck into the real underbelly of the USA I couldn’t have been more pleased. True to form the series delivered on its promises, Fry visited each and every state of America by way of a London taxi, specially hired for the ... more

    5 Stars Come Fry with Me - Stephen Fry in America 03/12/2011
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Informative and Fun

    Disadvantages Disadvantages None For Me

    I loved the TV series so was delighted when the book came out. Despite my first instinct to rush out and buy it, my brother is always really good at knowing the books I want so I waited and as expected unwrapped it on Christmas morning. The only problem I had with the series was that everything seemed a little rushed and there was clearly a lot more that could have been included. The book is a little more detailed and there are 5 pages allocated to most states, where there is a fair bit of general information given as well. A lot of the people he meets and places that are covered are the ones ... more

    5 Stars Fantastic read - Has inspired me to do the same! 05/08/2010
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Interesting, inspiring, good value for money

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Some parts were short

    I love to travel, I love America, and I love Stephen Fry! This book is the perfect combination! Ever since I was little, I always had this idea that I wanted to visit every single state, and since reading this book, it's reconfirmed my dream once more! One of the problems for me was that the book just isn't long enough! For some states, there are only 2 pages dedicated to them, and he basically just drives through and drives back out again! But other than that, it's absolutely fascinating! For each state there are little facts about them, and at the back of the book there is a quiz to see how ... more
