Editorial Reviews

Review

His status as a wine and spirits writer has allowed him to travel the world and party with celebrities such as Kid Rock, Bono, the Culkin brothers and Bon Jovi, just to name a few. This just adds to the entertaining nature of the book. -- Hofstra Chronicle, November 2007

Drinking hasn't dulled his wit; some passages are terrifically funny, even if it's often clear that the telling is funnier than the events themselves. -- Booklist Online, June 2008

Dunn is a wine and spirits columnist ... and thus spends vast amounts of time in a state of inebriation for what he refers to as "research purposes." In Quitter, Dunn tells of his adventures in the world of wine in a way that never ceases to amuse. -- The University News, November 30, 2007

His ability to grab a reader's attention seems at points, effortless. -- The Daily Gamecock, University of South Carolina, November 16, 2007

His hilarious memoir chronicles his voyages across the seas of booze-column stardom. Accompanied by a crew of quirky characters, including his freeloading roommate turned Hollywood superstar, Bottomfeeder, and a demonic, blackmailing attorney, The Beast, Dunn sets out to prove that sobriety is completely and utterly overrated. -- The Pitt News, University of Pittsburgh, November 28, 2007

I have tippled and traveled with Dunn, and I know that at least some of these stories have some connection to the truth. As they say on television, do not try this at home. -- Los Feliz Ledger, December 2007

Nobody Likes a Quitter is a humorous look at how Dunn went from a life of coke-snorting and couch-surfing in Aspen, Colorado, to living the booze-writer life filled with all-expense paid trips to investigate the latest in European drinking habits. -- Memphis Flyer, December 2007


Review

The Bloomsbury Review, May/June 2008
“…his stories sure are fun to read. … Like a weathered bartender supplying his patrons with hours of big-fish stories and bottomless brews, Dunn will keep you seated for the long haul.”

5.0 out of 5 stars The myth, the man-- the booze writer, November 28, 2007
By Jenna Duncan "booksduncan2001" (Brooklyn, New York United States) - See all my reviews
The identity of the man who pens one of America's most widely circulated booze columns is illusive. From humble beginnings as a local newspaper columnist in Aspen, Colorado, to rubbing elbows with the rich and famous at swank L.A. mixers, the public truly knows little about this man of mystery, despite a career that threatens to bleed through three or four decades. His mystique remains uncompromised in the pages of Nobody Likes a Quitter. Dunn's episodic remembrances are seasoned with recipes for cocktails and shots, tips for selecting premium spirits and advice on who to drink them with. For the modern bathroom and subway reader, this format is ideal--this way you can pick up or leave off anywhere in the book without loosing your orientation. No matter when-- no matter where-- no matter if you're sipping straight Johnnie Walker Blue or chugging from a Dixie cup of Franzia boxed wine-- you're going to have a good time with this book.
