Ha! No laughing out loud, but I did have a few titters and maybe a few chuckles here and there, plenty of sarcasm, and snappy dialogue. I think it is very much a lads' book, especially in this day and age and environment. I'm sure some women will find it offensive, and others not so much, just like everything else under the sun. "You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time" - John Lydgate.

Poor Drunk is having a miserable time of it, trying to be a better man and respecting his soon-to-be wife, only to find her having her nuptials early and with her ex-boyfriend in his bed, so Drunk heads off on his honeymoon on his lonesome to Paradise, an island in the Caribbean. But before his plane even lands, he's already in trouble in more ways than one.

For me, it was a very enjoyable and entertaining read, with a lot of funny banter and commentary, a reasonable plot, and likable characters. It's not Shakespeare by any stretch of the imagination, but who wants to read that all the time? Throw in a bit of light entertainment now and again.
