At the beggining of this book I really thought that I was going to have trouble following the book. Normally it is hard for a book to keep my attention when it is talking about all of these places that I have know clue where they are and what they look like, but after a while I saw that I wasn't going to have any trouble at all following this book.
This book held my attention because of the way Tony was willing to try anything. For starters not many people would be crazy enough to go around Ireland with a fridge in the first place. The way he is able to just talk to any person is something that also kept me very interested in the book. If he would of just given people one word answers or just not talk then many of the experiences that he has already had would not of happened to him and the book would be really boring.
This book has shown me that going out of your comfort zone will end up a good thing more times then not. Calling in to the national radio station right at the begginning of his trip was probably one of the most important things that he did, and I'm sure it was'nt that easy to just call up a huge radio station and start to talk to them. If he hadn't of called the station then he probably wouldn't of met nearly as many people as he has and he probably would never even get close to the kind of progress that he has already made.
So far I have really enjoyed this book and I cant wait to see what happens to Tony and his fridge next.

I think it was really hard for me to follow the book in the beginning, but then it was all good once I got into the book and all. I agree that when a book talks about a place I have never been to, I lose interest, and can’t get into the book,. But this book wasn’t really about the place as much as it was about the person and the fridge, and I kind of liked it that way. I also believe that I wouldn’t talk to anyone like he had, just walked up and started talking. I guess I’m not a very talkative person around new people. I guess in the worst case scenario I would probably steep out of my own little world because I would have to if hitch hiking around an area that I was not too sure of. I would have personally liked to see how he would have completed the journey if he hadn’t contacted the radio show, but he had, and we will never know how he would have done it.
