" Inconsistent, is my one word review of Young's book. At times hilarious; at times tedious. Partly a fascinating glimpse into American culture from an outsider's perspective; partly a repetitive laundry-list of how Brits differ from Americans (as if we didn't already know). Young is amusing, but also obnoxious. You want to like him, but he's an outright jerk. Still, I guess that's what the book is all about -- a 5-year chronicle wherein a full-of-beans British journalist becomes a contributing editor at Vanity Fair, tries to take Manhattan by storm, and fails miserably due to his odious personality and colossal miscalculation of what Americans are willing to put up with vis-a-vis malapropos behavior.
