The Talk of the Town
3 journalers for this copy...
One of my favourite comedians, I didn't know he had a book out.
Ok, I'm biased because I love Ardal O'Hanlon, but this is a little gem. Some of his lines are very funny, and the book is funny in places, but it is also a slightly dark look at small town mentality in rural Ireland, at least as it was 20-30 years ago.

Journal Entry 4 by Sherlockfan from Upper Hutt, Wellington Province New Zealand on Wednesday, July 6, 2005
Caught at Tullyglass House Hotel in Ballymena. Delightful occasion meeting with Belfast bookcrossers and with Sir Roy and his da who'd driven up to join the gathering. A delightful occasion which brought a different facet to bookcrossing. Do hope I can spread some of the enthusiasm around when I return home.
Was pleased to realise that the protagonist in this book referred to life 20 - 30 years ago. It was rather raw in its portrayal of the mentality of the youth spread throughout. I would very much like to think that things have changed enormously since that time but I'm not sure.
Yes. It was funny with some great lines. Hate to think that some of the language was prevalent way back then. Found some of it too raw for my taste but, as so often happens, the writing was such that I continued to read to the end.
It read like a true story which is always a good test.
Special thanks to Sir Roy.
I plan to release this book into the wild - well actually the wilds of a bus shelter in Upper Brighton Road, Surbiton, Sussex. May not get the chance to journalise this release.

RELEASE NOTES:
Left on bus shelter in Brighton Road, Surbiton, about 2 weeks ago. It was gone when I passed the bus stop about an hour later; hope it has found a happy home and that someone will release it.

Book was lurking on the seat of a bus. Since I was reading my own book at the time, I didn't spot this one in time to return it. This is worrying in the context of the war against terroism. Maybe your enterprise needs to be investigated with severity.
