Product Description
Product Description
When eight years of marriage end in a nasty divorce, some people might turn to psychotherapy. Others might turn to spirituality. But Bob Sullivan decided to Drink “Give me two fingers of Jameson,” I told the barman. “Start at my pinkie and keep pouring ‘til you reach someone else’s thumb.” The next thing I remember was waking up in the middle of Ha’penny Bridge wearing nothing but an adult diaper and a multicolored clown wig. Play My advice on playing the ponies is, “Don’t do it.” It’s the biggest sucker bet in town. Simply put, I never gamble on horses. Unless I get a funny feeling, or if one of the horses has a name I like. And F@#k While purchasing condoms in a foreign country is much less embarrassing then doing so at home since you probably won’t bump into your fifth grade English teacher in the checkout line, it is still an uncomfortable process. Especially if they’re not on display and you don’t speak Thai. You haven’t really played charades until you’ve mimed what you need a condom for to a seventy-year-old druggist on the Phi Phi Islands. Will Bob Sullivan mend his broken heart? Will he mend his broken liver? Will he even need those condoms? Find out for yourself in the pages of Drink, Play, F@#k.

Not what I expected... but good for some people.,

This review is from: Drink, Play, F@#k: One Man's Search for Anything Across Ireland, Las Vegas, and Thailand (Paperback)
After reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert, I was keenly interested in seeing what Drink, Play, F@#k might entail. Yes, indeed Drink, Play, F@#k did contain lots about what the title mentions, but I guess I was looking for something a little less on "playing the victim role" from a guys perspective and more on personal development story. After the first few chapters in and with little more than a few "snickers", I came across a few passages that showed the character to be on more a journey of self deprecation rather than one of growth and moving past his recent entanglements. Maybe one needs to be more in the right headspace to appreciate this book, maybe even a little more drunk while perusing the passages of guy on a bender. No matter what or where I was, I would say that Andrew Gottlieb has a way of creating a great sense of personal interaction with his words and writing style that is easy to read but this specific story lacks the lustre that would engage the reader to read past the fifth chapter. If you do get a chance to read this book, I hope that you enjoy it and maybe discover a deeper insight... one more than I did.

Ugh,

This review is from: Drink, Play, F@#k: One Man's Search for Anything Across Ireland, Las Vegas, and Thailand (Paperback)
I'm not sure what possessed me to purchase this book, in hindsight. It was poorly written and did nothing but propogate stereotypes about men and women. Absolute waste of time and I got nothing from this book. Don't waste your money, folks.

This review is from: Drink, Play, F@#k: One Man's Search for Anything Across Ireland, Las Vegas, and Thailand (Paperback)
This book was entertaining through every chapter. I couldn't put this book down. I read it while on a road trip and I think I missed out on things because I had my head down reading. This book gives you a great picture in your mind as he travels through Ireland, Vegas, and Thailand. A great read if you're feeling down in the dumps, or if you're looking for huge laughs. I laughed out loud while reading this book. This book reminds me of some of Chelsea Handler's books, but the male verison. If you're looking for an adventure in a book, check it out!
