The Ron Burgundy autobiography is what every die-hard Anchorman fan has been waiting for -- apart from the heavily anticipated sequel, that is. Ron Burgundy, portrayed by Will Ferrell, is a beloved and treasured character and his (fictional) exploits make for some entertaining fodder in this "biography." The coffeebook tome takes readers on a journey through his humble beginnings, perseverance, dedication and subsequent climb the top: being touted as America's "most trusted and beloved television News Anchor."
Burgundy describes a life of beautiful women, knock-out brawls and hobnobbing with the hoi polloi, with plenty of scotch-drinking to boot. The 244-page collection of thrilling, manly adventures might not be serious contender for a Pulitzer Prize (as the publishers would like you to believe), but it's definitely worth a read -- if only for the laughs alone.
