Round Ireland with a Fridge

At first I didn’t really like Round Ireland with a Fridge, I thought it was kind of boring and it was hard for me to get into. But once we got further into the book I started to understand Tony Hawks’ humor a little more and I was actually able to enjoy his stories. At first it did seem like he was rambling on about random things but now his stories are more funny and entertaining. I thought it was so funny when he said he planned to marry the princess of Tory and even brought her flowers, and then again with Roisin. It’s kind of sad that she hasn’t called him yet though, she didn’t seem all that interested in Tony though, I mean going to a club with another guy... I don’t think she really even wanted Tony to go, he kind of just assumed maybe. I think it’s weird that he takes the fridge surfing and gets it baptized… I guess it’s funny. Reading this book has really made me want to go travel around Ireland. I’ve always wanted to go to Ireland because I’m 50% Irish, but since we’ve been reading this book I’ve been looking up places in Ireland that he’s mentioned and I’m really eager to visit Ireland now. I think it would be so fun to go to a pub and experience how much fun all the Irish people have when they’re singing and dancing. Plus the way our teacher talks about Ireland so enthusiastically, she seems to really love it and that makes me even more curious and excited. I think my favorite chapter was when Tony had to sleep in the hostel with the mean Asian man and the man that snored really loud, I like how he gave a time line of his night, it was really funny.
