review 1: Ben and his family create what can only be described as the holiday of a lifetime when they meander over the water to France and enter into all things cheese-like. It may not be everybody's cup of tea to pack the kitchen sink in your car and head over the hills to a distant land of fromage but the Hatch family do it in style. Weddings, dangerous roundabouts and copious amounts of cheese are the order of the day. I didn't laugh out loud as much as I did with 'Are we nearly there yet' but I can completely sympathise with the incessant giggling in posh restaurants. I think they put something in your drink to turn you into a snorting idiot over the starters. The wonderful wit and charm of the Hatch's keep you going and as you read on you root for them all to cross the finish ... moreline in one piece! So - where to next?
review 2: Loved it! I had a smile on my face almost constantly, and I challenge anyone not to laugh out loud at Taquin the donkey and the absurd notion of smuggling baguettes taped onto the children's legs into Eurodisney!In addition to the humour, the story is all the more engaging with Ben's vivid descriptions of his wife and family (From one MFL teacher to another good luck Dinah-negotiating the Arc de Triomph roundabout is nothing compared to tackling OFSTED:) Please let's hear more of your family travels soon.... less
