The back of the book is correct. It WAS ginormous craic. I don't think I've enjoyed a guide book so much.
The only constructive criticism I have is that I wish there had been more locating maps. It would have been nice to reference the different counties and locations of the sights on a map page to transition between each region.
Overall a very fun read that has me quite excited to visit Ireland.

Funny guide with interesting comments about local places to visit. Some uncommon and truly worth it. However, it may be difficult to comprehend a whole paragraph if you are not a first language English speaker due to the frequent use of slang. Recommended if you have ample time to explore Ireland.
