I listened to the audiobook version of “American By Day” back in April 2018.

In my review I marked it a highly recommended and said:

“American By Day” would make a wonderful movie. It’s entertaining, original and accessible. Like most wonderful movies it’s underpinned by a serious intent to take a fresh look at difficult issues and a refusal simply to rearrange clichés into new patterns like turning a kaleidoscope.


“American By Day” is as easy and as amusing to read as a Carl Hiaasen novel but where Hiaasen is satisfied with using the eccentric to highlight the absurd, Derek Miller uses rational thought to challenge us to leave our pre-conceptions behind.

The paperback version of “American By Day” was published in UK today. If you haven’t read it yet, you can get it for £8.99 from Waterstones.
