Tony Hawks likes an adventure and a bet to prove his worth, combined he founds himself in Moldova trying to persuade the National football team that he is going to play them in tennis. Loosing would mean humiliation and a naked rendition of the Moldavian national anthem.
Playing the Moldavian at tennis is funny. Hawks is a funny guy and I love his theory of optimism, it's something this world needs, but I can't get away from thinking that it is all a silly game made up by someone with too much time on his hands.
I did however, lean something new about the break away state of Transistrian an interesting development little known in western Europe.
I have read others of Hawks tales before, and so far his adventures buying a house in France, is his best, perhaps because it wasn't based on a strange bet.
