I'd love to have a beer with O'Connor !
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I purchased this book while on vacation in Ireland. I had never read anything by him but the quick description on the back made me laugh so....thought I'd give it a try. I'm happy to report that the laughter did not stop there. This was a wonderful, entertaining book. I found myself smiling throughout and constantly reading passages aloud to friends. I can't wait to read more by him !
His best stuff

O'Connor is at his best here -- one of those few books that make you laugh out loud. He also hits the nail on the head with the Irish male psyche -- I understand my Belfast-bred husband so much better now.
Wonderfully Funny
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
I picked up a copy of this in Dublin to read on the long ferry/bus back to London. I bought it for the cover and title (he's upside down) and fell in love with the prose. Funny, hip, sarcastic, deep, shallow, and drunk... Joe does it all. Much better than his travels in America book, this one is continualy stolen by my friends... A wonderful wonderful book Reminds me of "Sex Tips for Girls" and "Good Omens" w/o the fiction angle.
