Product Description
Product Description
Described by "The Guardian" newspaper as providing 'high-grade entertainment', Brendan Sheerin has acquired fans in their millions, young and old alike, through his enthusiastic, cordial and comical role as the tour guide on Channel 4's runaway hit reality show "Coach Trip". Packed full of laugh-out-loud tales described in Brendan's unique voice, this warm, funny and very down-to-earth book will charm fans the world over. Brendan has been a professional tour guide for more than thirty years. Born in Leeds, Yorkshire, he spent his childhood summers with his family in Ireland - and his life travelling the globe, finally settling in Malaga, Spain. From stories about Brendan's childhood through to the mishaps and mayhem of life on the show and how he felt finding fame in his fifties, "A Coach Trip Adventure" is as entertaining and enjoyable as the man himself.

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
To be honest, this is not a book I would have paid good money for. I received a copy via the Amazon Vine programme whereby I get free products to review. I ordered this book as I have occasionally watched Coach Trip and have found Brendan an interesting and funny person.
It is a very easy and funny read. It is the sort of book you can pick up and put down without loosing the plot. It looks at his early life and his preparation for the Priesthood in quite a lot of detail. It rushes through the next period of his life as a Tour Guide and then spends time looking at his TV career. It is a shame that there are parts of his life, that must have been painful, which are either glossed over or rushed through. I think the book could benefited by looking at these periods in more depth and detail. It is however an honest account of his life and is in parts very funny. It gives you the impression that Brendan is a "what you see is what you get" kind of person and having read the book I admire him a lot more.
This is a good funny read and I am happy to recommend it to any Coach Trip/Brendan fan. It is written by an honest and lovely person, who has eventually found success in his life.
Well written biography of a sincere and funny man.

Format:Hardcover|Amazon Vine™ Review
(What's this?)
As a fan of Coach Trip, I found this book very absorbing. It goes a long way in explaining Brendans outlook on life, in the early part of the book Brendan looks back on his Irish roots, naming many of the families who still have a presence in that part of North West Ireland. Later he "opens the closet" and then moves on to his own view of the sometimes hilarious events of Coach Trip. Really a book in three distinct parts which will amuse and entertain.

I can honestly say I could not put this book down, It had me laughing, smiling and crying throughout. I was very touched by Brendan's relationship with Les and was devasted by what happened to him.
Excellent read I would highly recommend everyone to buy this.
