Another Fine Mess

Reviews

An easy and enjoyable read, it’s as much about the roadtrip in a vintage car as it is observations on the current political climate in America Moore… [is] very good at soaking up the strangeness of America and relating it to readers with an easy-going observational humour that only threatens to desert him when he contemplates the excesses of the current administration Hilarious and scary often in equal measure This is The Wizard of Oz in reverse – an attempt to uncover the source of what went wrong in America… What lingers is the stories of communities brimming with people who worked like dogs to learn a trade in a country they believed would reward them Alarmingly full of incident, very funny – even mildly transformative In the vein of Bill Bryson, this funny travelogue is as much a history of Henry Ford as a commentary on modern America Entertaining: coming yet also rather thought-provoking Fascinating, and very funny with it Another Fine Mess is an early contender for the best road-trip book of the year – if not travel book… an absorbing, funny and heartwarming tale Moore has written some very funny books… Another Fine Mess is his most sombre. The jokes are still plentiful but he also write affectingly about a part of post-industrial America in its death throes Expand reviews
