"A fine writer, witty, reflective, and candid... Ferguson is a kinetic cutup teeming with foolishness, brilliance, defiance, and heart. All this is captured in his book as an entertaining connect-the-dots journey."
Associated Press "Hilariously vivid."
People "Funny and poignant and inspirational and brilliant. Nowhere in his story of emigration and redemption does Craig Ferguson realize that as lucky ... Read moreas he thinks he is to be 'American on Purpose,' we are luckier still to have him."
Keith Olbermann "With American on Purpose, Craig Ferguson somehow manages to avoid the pitfalls of self-indulgence and self-importance that plague most (okay, all) Hollywood autobiographies. He has, instead, written a book that is hilarious and irrepressibly daft, yet also kind, poignant, and undeniably wise. It was a joy to read."
Dennis Lehane, author of The Given Day "A great read ... almost as good as my memoir."

Chicago Sun-Times "Hilarious and revealing...witty and emotional."
