American on Purpose: The Improbable Adventures of an Unlikely Patriot

As one who used to surf right past 'The Late Late Show,' I recently found myself stopping to look and listen. Craig's guest was Billy Connolly, the Scottish actor/comedian and they were discussing Craig's new book. I have long enjoyed Billy's outrageous humor and find it not unlike Craig's. Their discussion was very interesting and so funny that I ordered the book the next day. It's hard to believe that a man who had sunk so low and lost so much through multiple addictions could pull himself together and become a sober, productive member of society. His first step toward recovery was when he finally accepted the fact that he "couldn't drink and he couldn't not drink." That was when he sought help. When he had been sober for a while, he was incredulous the first time he realised he was actually having FUN without having had to drink,smoke,or snort anything. It is not a preachy book so I think alcoholics and drug addicts might well find, as Craig did, that life can go on happily without these artificial props.


Craig is a master of the double entendre and his language and humor are quite irreverent, but somehow not offensive. It makes me think that perhaps laughter IS indeed the best medicine, because this book, though sad in part, made me laugh out loud more than once.

I'm on CD #4 and already regretting not being able to listen to Paul on my way into work in the morning. His stories allow me to forget that I'm stuck in traffic and have made me, one more than one occasion, contemplate sitting in the parking lot for just one more chapter.

Paul voices the whole audio book and his impressions, pronunciations and punctuations add to each and every story he tells.

I dig this groovy audio book and despite a bad case of the Vegas throat, Paul is one crazy cat!

I liked his book - easy read and interesting. I like Craig from Late Late Show and was interested in what he had to say in American on Purpose. I found the book honest and funny. It was very touching. He certainly has turned his life around. An inspirational story really.
