I enjoyed this book, but I think being Irish helped. I enjoy his pieces in the Irish Times so was delighted to get my hands on his book. I always think his observations are astute and he can always bring humour to his pieces.

I guess I was expecting more from the book. I expected it to be filled with ‘stupid ideas’ which were the parts I enjoyed reading about but there was a lot of background which I didn’t find very interesting.

It wasn’t an awful book and there were parts that were good but for the most part i just didn’t connect with it. Having said that I liked the style of writing and I’m sure I will be in the minority

There is nothing overtly wrong with this particular book, and it must be said from the outset that I think my biggest issues with it were that it simply didn't connect with me. I didn't find it to be a book that drew me in, and the anecdotes were not really the kind that I found particularly illuminating or funny. I think, perhaps, my disconnect is in part due to being from such a different kind of world that this wasn't something I could relate to or find much that I understood in a personal sense, and so it fell a little flat for me.

With that being said, for someone else, who has a similar sense of humour and ethos as the author, I am positive that you will find an absolute gem of a book in these pages. I can certainly recognise that for the right people, it will be a perfect book, with loads of laugh-out-loud moments and observations to connect to your own life. I just don't happen to be that reader, and that's okay.

The title of this book pulled me in. Not really my usual genre of reading but was drawn by the title and description. A few laugh out loud moments and a few sad heart tugging moments. Definitely worth a read

This is not my usual type of reading material, but I was intrigued by the description and wanted to try something new.

A very enjoyable memoir, which raised many smiles and laughs.

Enjoy.

I didn’t find OK, Let’s Do Your Stupid Idea laugh out loud funny. There were some poignant moments such as when he describes working as a carer. The rest I didn’t find that interesting.
