Disappointed

Revisado: 05-18-22

I loved Mr. Critch’s first book “Son of a Critch” I grew up in Newfoundland and found his stories very relatable and funny, and I was very much looking forward to this book. I could not finish it. Perhaps it was because the subject matter was now himself rather than the world he grew-up in, but I found this effort, much more self-indulgent; while he attempts to come across as funny in his stories of “ambush” and other events related to his work on “ This hour has 22 minutes”, I didn’t buy nor find endearing the ignorance, or his blatant disregard for rules, authority figures, international law and relationships, etc…is the author
trying to keep up the dumb Newfie persona? I was very confused by this book. What was the author trying to say? Go around the world being an ignorant North American-cause funny? He references comparisons to Rick Mercer and while they share similar backgrounds, that’s where the comparisons end. Rick never feigned ignorance, in fact being the smartest in the room was kind of his thing. I kind of feel the way towards the author, as the soldier on the A/C did.
