It was a struggle to get through, though. The amount of typos is staggering. Take for instance Brian the kitchen guy … or is it Bob the kitchen guy? I'm not sure which as he is Brian in one paragraph, Bob the next, and Brian again in another paragraph. Or the play the "Beauty Queen of Leenane" or is it "Beauty Queen of Liani" … again, I'm not sure as it was the former at the beginning of a paragraph and the latter at the end of the same paragraph. Typos are hard enough to deal with in a book but in the back of the book … the recipe section … OhMyGosh … you canNOT have typos in recipes!The chicken salad recipe calls for 1 teaspoons of ground white pepper. Is the "1" a typo or is "teaspoons" a typo? If teaspoons is correct then obviously "1" isn't correct so how many teaspoons do I use? ARG and this is just ONE example from this section.Having said all this, I really do like the author's voice. Seems like he has about the same smart a** personality that I do. The Court "family" sounds like dream neighbors and I'd love to be invited to a porch session, if Trent and Ken still lived in the Court.All in all I'd say the book is definitely a "read" but only with the CAUTION tag to BE AWARE OF THE CRAZY AMOUNT OF TYPOS. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful book about Life, Love and Laughs! *by P***U on Reviewed in the United States on December 17, 2013* I got this book because of the great ratings and I have yet to be let down. I have not been able to put this book down and finally have completed it and I want more. This book is a must buy/read!The book follows the life of a gay man living a family life in a neighborhood in New Jersey. The focus is not on the men being a gay couple, but about living life and dealing with the same issues and celebrations of life that any other family encounters...but with a FABULOUS flare. I'm a straight man living in Dallas, TX but I could relate to so many of the situations in the book, the macho men in the neighborhood that have more power tools than they know what to do with, the neighbor that goes overboard with Christmas decorations, and the wonderful cooks that you always invite to your parties because you know they will bring wonderful food.Speaking of food, the book includes many of the recipes that are referenced in the stories. I can't wait to try it out this holiday season. Don't these sound great?"Made a pot of sauce, you'll come to dinner" - sauce"Trent's divine balls" - risotto rice balls"The Nog" - just in time for the holidays"How do you say 'I need your cheesecake recipe,' in Italian?" - Italian CheesecakeThe only thing I would say this book is missing is the NEXT BOOK! What happens next in your life? What happened before you got to New Jersey? ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars An extraordinary find!! *by C***E on Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2014* What a treasure!! Life on Altamont Court is not only laugh-out-loud hilarious and FUN, but a wonderful story of the importance of commitment, love, friendship, and living life to the fullest with gratitude and joy! The author has done a wonderful job of writing the book so that you can either read a chapter at a time or submerse yourself into his life and world--not to mention the recipes and pictures that are included. I must confess that I even read a few chapters out of order and it was mind-altering--the night before I hosted our family Thanksgiving for 21, I took a break from everything to read about Trent and Ken hosting 48 family and friends. After I stopped laughing, I was crying with gratitude that I was able to not worry about the little details and just enjoy the blessing of being surrounded by family!! The author has such a wonderfully eclectic style that its hard to compare, but I would say it's the funniest Modern Family episodes narrated by George Carlin with recipes thrown in from Diane Mott Davidson or the Pioneer Woman!! But mostly, the best compliment that I can say is that I felt like I was sitting down in their kitchen over a delicious cup of coffee (or, more appropriately, a wonderful glass of wine!!) sharing a moment with dear friends!! And, you can never have too many moments of discovering the Extraordinary in the Ordinary--ENJOY :) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/32615323-life-on-altamont-court-finding-the-extraordinary-in-the-ordinary](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/32615323-life-on-altamont-court-finding-the-extraordinary-in-the-ordinary) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-06*
