If you're going on holiday to Tenerife,or have been,or in fact if you've ever dreamt of living and working abroad...I'd highly recommend this book.Joe Cawley writes with such a wry sense of humour. I had tears of laughter running down my face and laughed out loud from start to finish. I just could not put it down.
I enjoyed reading about all the things that I was familiar with on Tenerife and that together with Joe Cawley's hilarious descriptions of the characters and situations helped to cheer up some wet,dreary days in the U.K.
Had it confirmed that dreams can come true....depending on how you look at things,I suppose...So long as you're willing to put in the long hours and extremely hard graft and also accept the emotional/financial consequences, and perhaps be able to laugh,eventually, at the not so good experiences.
Look forward to the sequel and anyhting else that may come out of this fantastic book...Film,T.V.etc.

I found this book as enjoyable as all the other lovely posts suggest. It is witty and thoroughly engrossing. I couldn't put it down once I had started. The funny, observant tales of Tenerife life made dreary rush hour train rides much more bearable. I would recommend it to anyone who is heading for the sun, or just dreaming of it.
