I really enjoyed this. Dripping with British humour and sarcasm on every page, it was a lot of fun.

So slow and meandering. I found parts of it funny, at the start of the book it had great quotes but then it just kept going on and on. I found it boring and had to push through. A lot of the colloquial stories J shared didn't make much sense to me, the distance of time made it feel a bit foreign so the punchline didn't hit

I will always love this book. It’s not an epic read. But it’s just brilliant. LOVE.

"He didn't look a nice man at all and wore ugly boots" 

Three friends on holiday and their ridiculous shenanigans and commentary. Reminded me of The Hangover in the fact that they're escaping the normal,  their brains are questionable amd their ridiculous commentary amusing.

A purely pleasurable, humorous, quick read that made for a nice change of pace compared to what I’ve been spending time with lately

This book is pretty funny, not going to lie. There were moments where I literally laughed out loud. But other than the humor, there isn't much substance to this book, which may be kind of the point. But if you're looking for a fun, humorous, classic read, this might be the book for you.
