He made the trip as a result of a £100 bet with a friend, after he had seen a man in Ireland hitchhiking with a refrigerator. Publishers Weekly called the book "a bad parody of Dave Barry's travel books" but added that "In the end, Hawks's book becomes a lively celebration of contemporary Irish society and the goodwill of its people that neither revels in irony nor descends into mawkishness.
