Suswatibasu (1703 KP) rated Alan Partridge: Nomad in Books
Oct 17, 2017
In this episode of his life, Alan is intent on rambling through parts of Britain in the form of a "journey journal", where he details the people and places he encounters. And mostly complain about his aching feet. Obviously things go horribly wrong.
Alan's rather blunt feelings and tendency to state the obvious comes through in all of the random footnotes. I had to suppress a few laughs on the bus due to some rather amusing moments. A great laid back read.
