“The bloke who was half of Lee and Herring and This Morning With Richard Not Judy takes us on a passably amusing journey from South London to Arizona in the company of misfits that include an ex-porn queen and a bloke in a Dire Straits covers band called the Sultans of Streatham. It’s an original take on your standard road-trip voyage of self-discovery (see Jack Kerouac or Robert M Pirsig) only in as much as some of the characters are British.
Random quote: “Fffft”. 7/10 – Read it in a hire car.”
Stew says – Ah well. Could have been worse. The first review to hit the stands. Could lift out the word ‘original’ and miss out the qualifying phrase. I got a higher score than a Spike Milligan book but was beaten by a biography of Dennis Wilson, which sounded really good, and a book about porn in 1970’s Britain.
