I only know of Dara O'Briain from his appearances on QI and a few other UK panel shows, but I thought that this would be a funny book about an Irish man's view of the English. It's actually more like a tour diary. There were some pretty funny moments but overall, not really what I was looking for. It had a lot of references and jokes that you definitely have to be from the UK, Ireland, or a fan of football to understand and since I'm none of these things, there were more than a few moments I wanted to skip ahead. If you're a fan of Dara's stand-up you'll of course love this book, but for the casual observer, it was just a quick diversion.
