Beyond bad

This book is terrible, full of short not funny stories that are totally pointless and anal.

Bedtime realism for Irish people!

Bedtime realism for Irish people! Well done and aptly narrated by Nick Offerman. Great for the insomnia.

Some of the stories are very good

Some stories are very good and funny make you laugh out loud. others are just really bad.

Meh...

I get what they were trying to go for but it just wasn’t for me. Either this will be in line with what you find funny, or you’ll probably just find it boring. The introductions by Offerman are the best parts of the episodes and then it just goes downhill from there

Spoilt by unnecessary bad language

Why do folk think it makes an impression to swear for no reason. These stories might have been good but if the author must resort to bad language then he has my attention on the delete key.

My advice to him .... grow up, get a life! You are not funny.

Appalling language!

I had to stop listening. There were far too many profanities . This was not enjoyable to listen to!

Great bedtime reading!

Loved it, although it would have been better if Nick had read the stories rather than just introduced them.
