Publisher's Summary
In Alan Partridge: Nomad, Alan dons his boots, windcheater and scarf and embarks on an odyssey through a place he once knew - it's called Britain - intent on completing a journey of immense personal significance.
Diarising his ramble in the form of a 'journey journal', Alan details the people and places he encounters, ruminates on matters large and small and, on a final leg fraught with danger, becomes not a man (because he was one to start off with) but a better, more inspiring example of a man.
Through witty vignettes, heavy essays and nod-inducing pieces of wisdom, Alan shines a light on the nooks of the nation and the crannies of himself, making this a biography that biographs the biographer while also biographing bits of Britain.

Hilarious
There isn't a line in the book that isn't funny, whitty or clever. Amazing work as ever from Steve Coogan.

Coogan/ Patridge is one of the premier wordsmiths.
What made the experience of listening to Alan Partridge: Nomad the most enjoyable?
The mental dexterity of Coogan is amazing - he can find a comic twist or interpretation on the most innocent comment. Lots of very clever and subtle gags throughout.
What did you like best about this story?
Its a great listen if you take it in sections - it unfolds across a journey on foot, so it feels a little like an 'epic' - a wandering anti-hero talking you through memories and observations as he goes. This is where Coogan is best - forget heavily plotted pieces, just sit him down and get him talking and he will come up with gold every time.
Which character – as performed by Alan Partridge – was your favourite?
This question does my head in. Suffice to say, Partridge/ Coogan/ etc is a hilarious and nuanced character.
If you made a film of this book, what would be the tag line be?
My legs are the heroes of walking.
Any additional comments?
If you are a fan of Alan Partridge, this is hours of his best work and worth a listen. Coogan is criminally underrated as a truly remarkable wordsmith.

A-ha!
Many, many hours of Partridge, read by Partridge. Idiotic and glorious. Four more words required.

Excellent
Classic Partridge. Fills in gaps in between alpha papa, knowing me knowing you, etc. If you like Steve Coogan this is a must listen to.

Inane, Fruitless, and utterly amazing
Perfect partridge rambling whist rambling about one of the most absurd, relentless and featureless walks of all time. That said it's like having Golden syrupy comedy poured into your ears as if they were mouths.

Back of the net!
Partridge, what can you say. Women want to bed him and men want to Be him. With every release we see a picture of man overcoming adversity, meeting his demons and beating them, and fully self-actualising in every sense of the word. Kudos to the legend, and thank you for sharing this deeply intimate and personal journey with the world.

Dry like a Peanut Butter sandwich
A true British satirical character when not laughing quietly smiling at his quirky humour- 5 Star rating
