Annotation: Recounts the author's experiences hitchhiking on a bet all the way around Ireland with a small refrigerator, and shares his impressions of the people and places along the way.

Evaluation: Round Ireland with a Fridge was a very funny read. I enjoyed the British humor throughout the book. However, I thought it got a bit old by the end of the novel. I was able to finish it but was rather bored. I do think the read-a-likes look quite interesting and may give them a try.
