Great silly fun! One or two evenings--three at most--and well worth the diversion. Israel Armstrong travels from London to Tumdrum, in rural Ireland. There the adventures begin, entangled with odd and unlikely characters, confusing local dialect, and more adventure than he wants or deserves. It took me about 50 pages to get into it, but maybe I just had to slow down and settle into the style and pace. Glad I did. The unexpected mishaps, odd names, and creative right-on descriptions made me laugh out loud once it got going. Not like most of what sells these days, which makes it a welcome diversion. I recommend!
