5.0 out of 5 stars Thinking of buying a business in Tenerife...?, 7 Aug 2006

By	Ms. K. J. Wood (Tenerife) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Then you must read this first. It's funny and incitive, bust most of all it will give you the real low-down on what to expect.

It may seem like it's great fun and relaxing owning a bar abroad, but this book will tell you the real truth of all the hard work involved... in a humorous way that will keep you reading.

It may be a funny story to you, but many people have lived it!!! (me included). How many Elvis' are there again? :D

5.0 out of 5 stars Dreams can come true, 6 Aug 2006

By	F. Ingram (U.K.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
