Format:Hardcover
It's very easy to lazily regard America as the country we all love to hate without understanding in any detail how the country works or, more importantly how ordinary Americans think. This book provides a better understanding of America, is written in a clear and accessible style - it's entertaining, informative and goes beyond the myths to make America and Americans intelligible to the rest of us. Read it and then make your own judgement, but at least read it. An excellent book.

I thoroughly enjoyed the book, It's by a TV correspondent but isn't all about him and has enough interesting stories and points to make the argument in it fascinating. If you're interested in America or wondering which direction it's going in this is great food for thought.

I bought this book to read the work of a respected former colleague. Webb himself is a first rate commentator with an acute mind and a warm conversational style. This book demonstrates all three of those characteristics. It makes the unfashionable case for America in a way that is clearly thought-out and well illustrated with intriguing examples.
This is the sort of up to date material that should be in every college library. Justin Webb, he tells us right away, is partisan: he enjoys life in America. Have A Nice Day, however, is an argument rather than a eulogy. Sit down, pour a whisky and enjoy this argument with one of the BBCs senior editors.

Have a Nice Day
It's very easy to slip into a lazy anti-American critique for the ills of the world if one isn't careful and Justin Webb's book "Have a Nice Day" is a timely reminder of the many... Read more

Loves a good read
I loved this book. It is fun and easy to read and yet makes a very strong point that we should at least question our prejudice against America. I enjoyed the style immensely. Read more

nauseating
This unpleasant little book shows just how biased the BBC can be. Webb, a typical public school prefect type, can't see an arse without wanting to lick it. Read more
