In The Irish Times , Ferdia Mac Anna wrote that it was "inexcusably shallow, deliberately vulgar, puerile and offensive – and it made me laugh like a drain. Indeed, there are sequences so funny that I had trouble breathing." [4]
Author Paul Howard later admitted that taking the action outside of Ireland was a mistake: "Ross needs to be here in an environment that he - and the reader - knows well." [5]
