Advantages: Enjoyable to read

Disadvantages: Not quite as funny as previous book

Playing The Moldvans At Tennis may not be as funny as Tony Hawks’ previous book (Round Ireland With A Fridge) – possibly because of the lack of visits to pubs – but it is certainly as good to read. This all came about after one of his friends, Arthur Smith, bet Hawks that he could not beat the whole Moldovan football team at tennis, the loser having to sing the Moldovan national anthem on Balham High Road – naked!
All of this is made even more difficult as Hawks knows nothing about Moldova and even less about their languages – Romanian and Russian. He ends up visiting Moldova, Transnistria, Northern Ireland and Israel just to get 11 footballers to play him at tennis.
A brilliant read for anyone – especially those who enjoyed Round Ireland With A Fridge – not only funny but showing us that life in Moldova is totally different to life in England.
