About this listen

Michael Irvine is 33 years old, drives a 12-year-old car, and lives with his parents. His job bores him, and his love is unrequited. Very few people pay attention to Michael, and that suits him fine.

Then one day, he finds himself the winner of the largest lottery in the history of Europe: €190,000,000. Under the weight of his newfound wealth and fame, Michael's life spirals out of control until he is forced to make a decision. A decision that will capture the imagination of the entire world.

Great narration. Laugh out loud Irish humour and a heartwarming tale. Thoroughly enjoyed this book.

Great book

I thoroughly enjoyed this book and would recommend it. The story is very believable and made me wonder what would happen if I were in the same situation. The characters are very real, and you appreciate their confusion, horror and shock being suddenly thrust into the media circus. The narration was very easy to listen to and well read.

A good story

Story

I was actually enjoying this book when suddenly it seems the author ran out of ideas about how to move the story forward and create masxive amounts of drama. It ends rather ubruptly and in an uncreative manner when the subject decides to team up with other losers and opportunists and give away all his money to strangers, every penny of 200 million euro . Who does that in this day and age? only a loser. I lost interest in the book after that, but eventually returned to it to close it out. Still however it was an incredibly poor termination. The narration however was brilliant and entertaining.

A great story destroyed by anticlimax end.

Maybe as this is set in Ireland the narrator should have at least visited Ireland once in his life. Worst accents I’ve ever heard.

Terrible Irish accents.
