| | The Murphy : Reviews, Prices, Deals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | At various points Murphy finds himself being hauled out of a wishing well by the local rugby team, only to be chucked back in for explaining that he fell while "invigorating" himself, abducted by aliens who remove his appendix in exchange for Guinness and displaying worrying necrophiliac tendencies as a hospital orderly. |
 | | The Murphy is full of loony linguistic tricks and joie-de-vivre though it's difficult to avoid the impression that the person enjoying himself most is the man who wrote it. |
 | | The book is about Mick Murphy, a drunken irishman, who after getting bonked on the head with a frying pan relives the highlights of his life: Love, Marriage, Health, poverty, etc etc. It has the potential to be so much funnier, but for some reason, the comedy falls just a tad short. |
