Editorial Reviews

In Drink, Play, F@#k Bob Sullivan, a jilted husband, sets off to explore the world, experience a meaningful connection with the divine, and rediscover his passion. His travels lead him from his home in New York City to a drinking bender across Ireland, through the glitz and glamour that is Las Vegas, and to the hedonistic pleasure palaces of Thailand. After a lifetime of playing it safe, Mr. Sullivan finally follows his heart and lives out everyone's deepest fantasies. For who among us hasn't dreamed of standing stark naked, head upturned, and mouth agape beneath a cascading torrent of Guinness Stout? What could be more exhilarating than losing every penny you have because Charlie Weiss went for a meaningless last-second field goal? And what sensate creature could ever doubt that the greatest pleasure known to man can be found in a leaky bamboo shack filled with glassy-eyed, bruised Asian hookers? Bob Sullivan has a lot to teach us about life. Let's just pray we have the wisdom to put aside our preconceptions and listen. Because what Bob Sullivan finds isn't at all what he expected.

1 No worth it the price ( 2010-07-23 )
First they charged me for shipping when they were not suppose to. Then when I returned it, of course they didnt give me back all my money. I wont never again buy from them.

1 bewere of the deceiving cover!!!!!!! ( 2010-06-25 )
bewere of the deceiving cover!!!!!!THIS IS NOT "Eat, pray, love" by elizabeth Gilbert !!!!


You can easily mistake the book because it has the same cover as the
original one-"Eat, pray, love" by elizabeth gorden-same cover -different price!!!!

4 More than a spoof ( 2010-06-03 )
This book is for those who tried to make it through the Find Yourself Midlife Crisis porn that was "Eat Pray Love" aka EPL and finally threw it against the wall after gagging repeatedly.

EPL was practially begging to be spoofed and Gottlieb does a fine job of it. I'm guessing the only reason why his book has not been made into a film by now is that there might be some legal issues due to his spoofing EPL?

I'm a woman by the way.

4 Amusing ( 2010-06-01 )
Not quite laugh out loud funny, but an amusing story nonetheless. Light-hearted and fun to read.

2 Mild! Not nearly as edgy as title implies... ( 2010-04-30 )
Not a bad book, but not great either. With so many other good books out there, don't waste your time with this one.

Before reading, I briefly glanced at some of the Amazon reviews; most were only lukewarm. Thinking the other reviews might have been a bit harsh, I gave the book the benefit of the doubt, purchased, and read. Mistake.

With a word like "f@#k" in the title, I expected the book to be a bit more edgy. What the book delivered was much milder- a recently divorced, middle age man going through somewhat of a midlife crises in the form of one year across Ireland, Las Vegas, and Thailand. Sounds promising and full of potential, right? Nothing nearly as provocative as you might expect. Most of the potentially edgy scenarios are glossed over or omitted entirely. To be fair, some of the vignettes are OK, but again, everything is overall very mild.
