A funny, truthful and sharp-witted account of a young man's experiences on a kibbutz. A story of adventure and misadventure, the discovery of a different kind of living, written from the viewpoint of a young man just out of college and ready for (almost) anything.

5.0 out of 5 stars
an excellent find,
By jess berman (newton, new hampshire) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Beer and Bagels for Breakfast (Paperback)
This book is witty and outrageously funny. Carson made his experience come alive through the pages of this book. His encounters will bring a smile to your face, even if you have no idea what he is talking about culturally. This book is guaranteed to make you want to get on a plane bound for Israel. I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good laugh, or insight into a different way of life, kibbutz life.

Extremely accurate - like I was back on the kibbutz again!,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beer and Bagels for Breakfast (Paperback)
The book is very easy to read; the descriptions of life on a kibbutz brought back all my memories. I went back in '97 and got into the same kind of situations as the author. Every aspect of kibbutz volunteer life is explained, including the bad times too, but overall you can tell that the author had a fantastic time and misses those fun days. Highly recommended!

let's see who can get drunk the fastest,
By A Customer
This review is from: Beer and Bagels for Breakfast (Paperback)
It's "what I did on my vacation", stuff. Written by a remarkably self-serving,horny, 20s something guy, well on his way to alcoholism.
