Title: Silly book
Review: A light read, but boy does it jump all over the place. I've been to Ireland. The people are charming and often funny. This book was Not that funny. Tries too hard to find absurd adventures to make the reader laugh. Disappointing, the author spends so little time in each place that the reader never gets to feel a sense of what the hitchhiker is experiencing beyond his inconvenience in the creature comforts. The author's writing was too choppy for my taste. And he was condescending to the very people who were trying to help him. I never got a sense of what in the world the man is trying to convey in each place. The goodness of the Irish? No. Rather, I did get the sense that Mr. Hawks was trying to make a buck off writing about his Irish adventure. Without that radio show, the endeaver never would have succeeded in a month, and it soured the effort. But it sure made "Fridge Man" famous.
