Title: Doesn't live up to all the hype
Product review: The rave reviews this book received made me expect a much more humourous and interesting story. The author and his wife were like strangers..both to each other and to the reader..no emotion or warmth exhuded from the pages. The many locals they came into contact with were well depicted but the author gave you no insight into how they might have impacted his life and times...they all seemed to be stand-a-lone characters. In contrast, Tony Hawks' "playing football with the Moldovans" and "around Ireland with a fridge" made both the countries and the characters come alive.
