One Hit Wonderland |
When you're chuckling aloud and delaying a family outing because you have to find out what happened when Norman Wisdom and the Pitkins tried playing their new single at half-time during an Albanian football match, when no-one realises who they are, a junior presentation is overrunning, the sound-system is down and Norman can't remember the lyrics (and all because Tony Hawks has another bet to win) then you know you've found the perfect summer read!

Round Ireland with a Fridge |
Tony Hawks took on a mad bet thet he wouldn't be able to hitchhike around Ireland with a fridge within a calendar month. It's a completely silly adventure, but quite funny how the Irish people rise to the challenge and help him along the way. He meets some hilarious characters and it's a very amusing book.

Round Ireland with a Fridge |
This amiable romp of a book manages to be both amusing and engaging without much obvious effort. Although ostensibly about completing a bet, the quest is less interesting than the characters and situations met along the way. In fact the author's unerring ability to publicise his trip on Irish radio and in the newspapers pretty much guarantees its success and ensures a steady flow of 'characters' willing to lend a hand (and an anecdote or two!).
