Amazon.co.uk Review
Out of this stupid premise, a ridiculously amusing book was born. Quickly discovered by the Irish media, the thumbing Englishman finds that he and his box fridge are elevated to celebrity status, and there's no dearth of rides, places to stay or goofy people to meet, from kings to spoons players to locals who take his fridge surfing. As insightful about the strange inner workings of Hawk's mind as it is about charming peculiarities of Irishmen--it's doubtful that Hawks would have been similarly embraced by Germans, Italians, or the French--Round Ireland with a Fridge is an entirely silly, heart-warming tale told in a rollicking funny and refreshing style. --Melissa Rossi

The Funniest thing you'll read.,
By
This review is from: Round Ireland With A Fridge (Paperback)
I bought this book on one of my many wanders through Amazon largely because of the title. The absurdity of the premise that somebody would hitch hike around Ireland with a fridge, touched the maverick side of me and so I bought it.Simply, it is one of the funniest books you'll read. It combines the day to day adventures of Tony along with the ridiculous situations that he finds himself in. The reaction of the Irish people that he comes across is irrational and typical at the same time. It is very laugh-out-loud funny as well as touching and moving, acting as a metaphor for life - and all written brilliantly. If you're reading this review it means that you want persuading before you commit to buying the book. Then do yourself a favour and take the punt and stick it in your basket. You won't be sorry.

This review is from: Round Ireland With A Fridge (Paperback)
I've not read anything this funny in a while. Tony manages to tell the story of his travels around Ireland whilst being extremely witty and funny at the same time. I know it is a cliche, but this book really will have you laughing out loud, the passengers on my train will testify to that! A great read.
Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.

I starting reading this and couldn't put it down. I laughed hysterically every few minutes, even when I fell backwards and hit my head on the wall it didn't stop.
