<\/span>What do you do when you get bored and have time to kill? Dave Gorman asked his followers on twitter if they fancied playing a game.
\nThis book chronicles his travels all over the UK to play strangers, acquaintances and friends at various games from Monopoly to Darts with odd pub and board games thrown in.
\nGorman has previous when it comes to taking on insane challenges – see Are You Dave Gorman? and Dave Gorman’s Googlewhack Adventure which are both very funny books (I’ve read them but they escaped being reviewed on the blog).
\nGorman has a pleasing style and the book is genuinely funny but there’s just something tired and bored underlying the adventures.
\nSomething screams “I want to stop doing crazy stuff and to settle down!”
\nRecommended if you liked his earlier books.<\/p>\n
