What a lot of fun~!! :-D
It makes me want to visit Ireland even more.
Because of a bet a big adventure begins, for a man and his small fridge.
Spreading joy, laughter, pointlessness and general good old fashioned fun!

Off to the USA as part of the Wishlist tag game!

Got this today, thank you!

This book wasn't quite the laugh-out-loud tale I was expecting, but it was still very funny. I think part of my problem was that so much of the humor was alcohol-related. Having an extended family that overindulges at pretty much every gathering takes a lot of the shock factor away and makes events seem a lot less zany. My reaction tended to be a "So? That's what happens when you overdo it" or "Eh, could have gotten worse" to a lot of the drinking jokes. I'd have liked to see more of a focus on the little mini-cultures Hawks keeps coming across in obscure towns, those observations were the things I found most amusing and they fit in better with the travel narrative. Still, I read it quickly and found it entertaining.

Send out as a RABCK. Enjoy!

Even the title makes me smile! Thanks for the RABCK, emmejo.

UPDATE: I really enjoyed this book. The understated British humor made me laugh out loud in some parts, and the descriptions of the Irish people made me want to book a flight so I could experience their friendliness and wit in person.

All in all, a great read :-)
