Worse, still, have you eveer tried to win one? In attempting to hitchhike round Ireland wich a fridge, Tony Hawks did both, and his foolhardiness led him to one of the best experiences of his life. Joined by his trusty traveling companion-cum-domestic appliance, he made his 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, a bogus king, and the fridge got christened. They surfed together, entered a bachelor festival, and one of them had sex without the other knowing. And unexpectedly, the fridge itself became a momentary focus for the people of Ireland. <p/>An international bestseller, <i>Round Ireland with a Fridge</i> is a classic travel adventure in the tradition of Bill Bryson with a dash of Dave Barry.</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>"Round Ireland with a Fridge is a sort of alternative Michael Palin tome and a far better read thatn you would expect. It is part autobiography, part travelogue, and part Guinness-addled ramblings." --<i>The Irish Times</i> <p/>"One ridiculous and sumbline example of the high-concept travel book is the British comedian Tony Hawk's Round Ireland with a Fridge....The whole book is driven by the sheer lunacy of the original proposition, and the sweet bottom line is that anything that brings people together and shows them this good a time isn't stupid at all." --<i>The New York Times Book Review</i> <p/>"A rambling but ultimately warmhearted diary-like account that combines elements of Let's Go Ireland, Cheers, and Seinfeld...Hawks has produced a witty, silly, tribute to the hospitality and generosity that the Emerald Isle is famous for." --<i>The Post and Courier (Charleston, S.C.)</i></p><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><p><b>Tony Hawks</b> lives in London and divides his time equally between writing, performing, and playing tennis.
