Have you ever made a drunken bet? Worse, still, have you ever tried to win one? In attempting to hitchhike round Ireland with a fridge, Tony Hawks did both, and his foolhardiness led him to one of the best experiences of his life. Joined by his trusty travelling companion-cum-domestic appliance, he found himself in the midst of a remarkable adventure, at times emotional, at times inspirational, but more often than not, downright silly.

Only in the magical land of Ireland could such a notion lead to such fruitful adventure. Here is his record of the unlikely pair's fortunes as they made their way from Dublin to Donegal, from Sligo through Mayo, Galway, Clare, Kerry, Cork, Wexford, Wicklow, and back again to Dublin.

In their month of madness, Tony and his fridge met a real prince and a bogus one; they surfed together and entered a bachelor festival; the fridge was christened; and one of the pair had sex without the other knowing. And unexpectedly, the fridge itself became a momentary focus for the people of Ireland. As the days rolled by, the fridge grew into a personality in its own right, developing its own identity and bringing people together wherever it went.

Kritikerstimmen

"A lively celebration of contemporary Irish society and the goodwill of its people." ( Publishers Weekly)
"Not just brilliantly written, but far too hilarious to read alone in a public place." ( The Independent)
" Round Ireland with a Fridge...is a sort of alternative Michael Palin tome and a far better read than you would expect. It is part autobiography, part travelogue, and part Guinness-addled ramblings." ( Irish Times)

Ein wunderbar verrücktes Reiseabenteuer, das immer wieder Irland in den Mittelpunkt rückt. Auch der Sprecher ist genial, gut verständlich und immer wieder "irish".

Very irish!

For people who like an adventure and for those who would rather listen to one from the comfort of their home.

Should awaken everyones lust for travel

This is so massively shortened that I did not nearly enjoy it as much as the actual book. Well read but otherwise worthless. I do not get the point of abridged audiobooks.

Shortened, loosing the atmosphere
