In its simplest terms this is the story of a man on a mission! The fact that the mission is "to visit every place in the world with the word `mullet' in its name" tells you something about the character of both the book and the author.
This is the true story of how the author's interest (some may say obsession) with spotting people with the distinctive 80s hairstyle developed into a search for places called Mullet. This takes him on various journeys visit Mullet villages, towns and creeks. Along the way he meets people, makes friends, and stirs up a media storm in Australia.
It is a very funny and somewhat fascinating commentary on places like Albania and Ireland what I found very interesting. Not being a very widely travelled person myself and especially having no attraction to the idea of solo-travelling it was good to hear about the joys and frustrations of the journeys, as well as the insights into the places visited and characters met along the way.
I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quirky, humorous read, anyone who enjoys travelling or who wants to know more about Albania, Ireland, Australia. Or simply if you want a good read.
