Dave Gorman's Wacky Youtube Life-Is-Goodish Upload Adventure (FOR CUNTS!)

[Rolf Lundgren]

Gorman did 2 stunt books - the 2nd of which was about him not wanting to do another stunt book (but then doing one anyway to cover the advance of the novel he hadn't written). That Googlewhack book is actually pretty good and is mostly about him wanting to be taken seriously and not being known as 'that stunt guy'.

America Unchained is a bit of a stunt (visit places in America without going to a chain store) which is ultimately hampered by it's own unforgiving rules and Dave Gorman vs The World feels like a stunt book without being one. Not criticising as I genuinely believe Dave's reaction in Googlewhack to shake off the shackles of being the stunt guy but then can imagine publishers wanting and marketing his next books in the same way. Also, call me naive but I can believe he's the type of person who likes these types of challenges and would be doing them or something like them if there wasn't a book or show to be crafted at the end of it.
