Reviews"Round Ireland with a Fridge is a sort of alternative Michael Palin tome and a far better read thatn you would expect. It is part autobiography, part travelogue, and part Guinness-addled ramblings." -- The Irish Times "One ridiculous and sumbline example of the high-concept travel book is the British comedian Tony Hawk's Round Ireland with a Fridge....The whole book is driven by the sheer lunacy of the original proposition, and the sweet bottom line is that anything that brings people together and shows them this good a time isn't stupid at all." - -The New York Times Book Review "A rambling but ultimately warmhearted diary-like account that combines elements of Let's Go Ireland, Cheers, and Seinfeld...Hawks has produced a witty, silly, tribute to the hospitality and generosity that the Emerald Isle is famous for. -- The Post and Courier (Charleston, S.C.), "Round Ireland with a Fridge is a sort of alternative Michael Palin tome and a far better read thatn you would expect.

Edition DescriptionRevised edition
SynopsisHave you ever made a drunken bet? Worse, still, have you eveer tried to win one? In attempting to hitchhike round Ireland wich a fridge, Tony Hawks did both, and his foolhardiness led him to one of the best experiences of his life. Joined by his trusty traveling companion-cum-domestic appliance, he made his way from Dublin to Donegal, from Sligo through Mayo, Galway, Clare, Kerry, Cork, Wexford, Wicklow--and back again to Dublin. In their month of madness, Tony and his fridge met a real prince, a bogus king, and the fridge got christened. They surfed together, entered a bachelor festival, and one of them had sex without the other knowing. And unexpectedly, the fridge itself became a momentary focus for the people of Ireland. An international bestseller, Round Ireland with a Fridge is a classic travel adventure in the tradition of Bill Bryson with a dash of Dave Barry.

The title sums up the adventure nicely, and invited the reader to pick it up to learn more.
I loved this book so much I have purchased multiple copies of it to share with friends. They have all responded positively, and they enjoyed Tony's antics and the descriptions of the Irish people and landscapes. We've travelled to Scotland several times together - this book may just encourage them enough to put together a tour of Ireland.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
