Another Fine Mess

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 * Classic Ford *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 – Alistair Mabbott * The Herald *Hilarious and scary often in equal measure – Nat Barnes * Daily Express *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 – Jane Graham * Big Issue *Alarmingly full of incident, very funny – even mildly transformative – Jane Shilling * Daily Mail *In the vein of Bill Bryson, this funny travelogue is as much a history of Henry Ford as a commentary on modern America – Natalie Bowen * Eastern Daily Press *Entertaining: coming yet also rather thought-provoking – Richard Gunn * Classic Car Weekly *Fascinating, and very funny with it * Octane *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 * Classic & Sports Car *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 – Tom Tivnan * Times Literary Supplement *
