  <default_description>In &lt;I&gt;Drink, Play, F@#k&lt;/I&gt; 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.</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Reading others' reviews, maybe it would have helped a bit if I'd read &quot;Eat Pray Love&quot; first. I don't know that it matters much--this story is just not that interesting. It's not that funny either, although you can tell it sure tries to be. The ending is ridiculous.

    <body><![CDATA[This was a fantastic parody of Elizabeth Gilbert's extremely popular book, Eat Pray Love. I really dont see how anyone could read this without having first read Eat Pray Love, as everything is mirrored so well, and wouldnt be fully appreciated unless one has read Eat Pray Love. <br/>In Gilbert's bo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/56547473">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I bought this book based on the author's writings on the back cover, which were hysterical.  I do admit that the author is witty and very humorous, but there is no real plot whatsoever in this book, which also made it drag a bit.  It's basically the guys point of view of &quot;Eat, Pray, Love&quot;,...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/64233017">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[2.5 stars<br/><br/>A few people have already pointed this out and I have to agree- this book is based on some pretty whacky and unlikely coincidences. The main character must be the luckiest man alive, that's all I can say.<br/><br/>Some parts of the book were absolutely hilarious.

    <body><![CDATA[It was ok. Each of the three sections dragged for the last two chapters and the final section was a bit wanky. Other than that, it was a fast plane-read and quite amusing.  I hadn't read the original Eat, Pray, Love as I find worthy, self-improvement books incredibly boring and a waste of time - I n...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/55819432">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[If you have read, haven't we all, Eat Pray Love, this is the male version of the tale. It's a recently divorced man's journey drinking in Ireland, gambling in Vegas, and F****** in Thailand. The author deliberately polks fun at Eat Pray Love.  It's baudy and trite, and entertaining.

    <body><![CDATA[This book is hilarious!!  A spoof on the Eat,pray,love by Elizabeth Gilbert, which I have not read....so I probably should??  The first part of the book was the best because it was about drinking, the gambling was not so interesting to me because I don't gamble much.  But at least he was tasteful fo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/48440210">more...</a>]]></body>
