I absolutely loved reading this book. This is the semi-autobiographical story of Bradbury's trip to Ireland to write the screenplay for John Huston's (the famed director's) movie adaptation of Moby-Dick. The Irish locals are written in Irish brogue which makes them sound interesting and amusing. This is a very funny book. I laughed a lot while reading this book. Bradbury captures life in Ireland in the 1950s, I believe. An entertaining book. Very different from his other books.
