Rating: - When can I go?
Visiting and observing every state in America is no doubt a mammoth task, but Stephen Fry has done the best job possible. The photos are brilliant, the encounters are interesting and what I really love, is that this is in no way a travel guide. Obvious tourist hot spots are left out in favour of opportunities to really see the character of each State.

I love Stephen's writing style, it's humorous and educated, and I often keep a dictionary and Wikipedia to hand to research further the ... Read More

Rating: - Brilliant

Stephen Fry is a legend, everything he does is intelligent and smart. I prefer this book to the accompanying TV series. Fry has the most wonderful writing style and where the TV series seems rushed and at times exhausting to watch and observe as the lovely Fry tries to developed each story it's obvious that the clock is against him. I like to be able to browse and enjoy his work at leisure. I really love this book.

Fry's Great American Journey is both idiosyncratic and insightful. He present's the country as he finds it: take it or leave it. You be the judge. No doubt some will be disappointed by what is not included, but that is part of the nature of the USA that Fry tries to convey: it is too large and ... Read More

Rating: - Fascinating
This is a very positive and upbeat view of America, showing the country at its best.
It would be lovely to see Mr Fry doing a similarly enthusiastic tour of Britain's counties. Come on the BBC, let's see that series next!
