This man should be certified mad. He undertakes a 8000 odd mile journey around the United Kingdom staying and visiting family attractions and staying in family hotels.

With two under four year olds...

Certifiable!

During the journey they have their car written off, he acquires and passes a kidney stone, and tragically loses his father to cancer. But through it all manages not to get divorced, develops and unbreakable bond with his two children.

A good read, and I'm glad that he has done it so I don't have to! ( )

Ben Hatch doesn't really need another review for this book. It was voted #1 on Amazon's list this past year. I can see why. For those of you who haven't heard of it, there's a lol moment on nearly every page. If I had to compare it to something, I would call it a modern, non-fiction National Lampoon's European Vacation. Ben takes his entire family, including toddlers, on a trip around Britian while writing a book reviewing hotels and tourist attractions. The family dynamics are hysterical. There are also some tragic moments of personal loss along the way. What amazes me about this author is that he can turn emotions on a dime. You're laughing and then you are suddenly in the midst of deep sympathy for this author. I really can't say more without giving too much away, but this book is worth the $2.99 price on Amazon Kindle.
