A Piano in the Pyrenees (Abridged) Audiobook

" An fun, light read and an excellent holiday read indeed! I'd never heard of Tony Hawks before but can't wait to read his other books:) "

" I was disappointed with this read. It's an easy-going and pleasant travelogue, but not much more. I expected some witty insights or clever humor, but found neither. I've heard great things about this author, and will likely try again with another of his books, but overall I found this book bland and uneventful. "

" Fun, quite interesting. Not so good as "One Hit Wonderland" or "Round Ireland with a Fridge" by the same author. "

" I prefer Tony Hawks when his humour is laugh out loud rather than whimsical. Still a pleasant enough diversion. "

" A funny look at moving to a new country and starting all over. Yes, the story includes the typical language and cultural problems, the remodeling, but this one also includes his humor. Tony is a funny guy. He buys a house almost sight unseen but it works for him. Yeah! "

" A good read with some good laughs "

" there's a real skill to find entertainment, even meaning in the mundane. Many writers have the talent to illustrate both with a succint economy of words. Sadly Tony Hawks falls short on both counts with this book. Yawn. "

" Totally hilarious, British humor at its best. "

" not as good at all as "round ireland with a fridge" "

" A good read, but possibly not as good as Tony Hawks' prevous titles. Really good fun though! "

" Really liked this, wasn't so keen on Round Ireland with a fridge which might explain why it took me a few years t get to this one! "

" I read round Ireland with a fridge years ago by the same author and it was fantastic. This book wasn't as slap your knee funny but it was more thoughtful and you can tell Tony has aged and matured. Even if he isn't any wiser. ;-) "

" Great humorous writing -- makes me want to move to a French countryside and spend a year playing the piano and going to village festivals! "

" A fun and easy read :). Having gone through the same process I identified with the characters and scenarios. "

" I would love to do what Tony Hawks did in this book, but I would love it more if it involved him making drunken wagers and going on ridiculous quests instead. "

" Tony is such a fun guy - I wish I knew him - would love to visit him in the Pyrenees! There's actually not much about the piano, but it's fun to read about him settling into his new house and his wacky friends. "

" Better than average "bonbon" book. "

" Filled time, but not my expectations - I might consider giving his other books a try, but I didn't find this one particularly insightful or clever ... just "there". "
