Drink, Play, F@#k by Andrew Gottlieb

Drink, Play, F@#k: One Man's Search for Anything Across Ireland, Las Vegas, and Thailand Drink, Play, F@#k: One Man's Search for Anything Across Ireland, Las Vegas, and Thailand by Andrew Gottlieb

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I couldn't decide if this book was fiction or non-fiction in the beginning. By the end, I felt like it was actually a mix of the two. I just don't think the entire thing was made up. Anyway, the section on Ireland was my favorite. It was fast to read and most of it rang very true to me. The Las Vegas section was overall pretty good too. I experienced Vegas for the first time not that long ago and many parts of the story rang true, as well. The Thailand section is sort of where he lost me. Now, I've never been to Thailand so I didn't have any first hand knowledge to work with while reading. But, most of that section did not have the organic feel of the first 2 sections. Maybe I was just expected to suspend too much disbelief. I'm not sure, but I know I didn't love the last section of the book and it affected how I felt about the book as a whole.
