At times hilarious at others deadly serious, Bulls Before Breakfast is a fun, vivid, informative, lyrical and authentic exploration of the San Fermin Festival through the lens of an author who truly loves it. Both Peter Milligan and his brother Ari suffered serious injury and returned to Pamplona to run with the bulls which is one of the truest tests of a bull runner. Both of these Mozos are the real thing and I feel very honored to run bulls with them., "At times hilarious at others deadly serious, Bulls Before Breakfast is a fun, vivid, informative, lyrical and authentic exploration of the San Fermin Festival through the lense of an author who truly loves it. Both Peter Milligan and his brother Ari suffered serious injury and returned to Pamplona to run with the bulls which is one of the truest tests of a bull runner. Both of these Mozos are the real thing and I feel very honored to run bulls with them." -Bill Hillmann, American bull runner and author, At times hilarious at others deadly serious, Bulls Before Breakfast is a fun, vivid, informative, lyrical and authentic exploration of the San Fermin Festival through the lense of an author who truly loves it. Both Peter Milligan and his brother Ari suffered serious injury and returned to Pamplona to run with the bulls which is one of the truest tests of a bull runner. Both of these Mozos are the real thing and I feel very honored to run bulls with them., One of the world's most colourful events told by one of its most colourful characters. I first met Peter Milligan and his friend Ari in the thick of the crowd while I was making a documentary about the festival. We were about to be charged at by Bulls. Peter explained that we were "not running against them - we're running with them... joining the herd on their last morning in the sun as they go to the bullring." As Peter tells of his experience of Bulls Before Breakfast its clear he is just regular guy who is simply passionate about what he does. It has nothing to do machismo; but is a unique experience that forges friendships in no other way. Peter takes you right into the narrow streets and gives a heart thumping account of what it's like to run with bulls and he also offers a superb guide to the intricacies of the festival. It is a brilliant, vivid and very personal account and perfect reading for anyone thinking of running with the bulls in Pamplona. Not that they should., "Best book out about everything you need to know before running with the Pamplona bulls whose author survived 70 runs. A must read if only to learn that every manhole cover there is ice. Exciting even for the non-runner. Should be Pamplona's Official Book on the subject." -Robert F. Burgess, Hemingway's Paris and Pamplona: Then and Now "At times hilarious at others deadly serious, Bulls Before Breakfast is a fun, vivid, informative, lyrical and authentic exploration of the San Fermin Festival through the lense of an author who truly loves it.

But it's so much more. It's the story of two brothers travels in and around the beautiful countryside and coast that surrounds Pamplona, full of history and humour, antics and anecdotes, glorious mishaps and gourgeos meals. A truly moveable feast!" - Tim Pinks, the only non Spaniard made a member of a Pamplona Pena "One of the world's most colourful events told by one of its most colourful characters.

A colorful portrait of Pamplona." - Chicago Tribune "A thoroughly engaging look at the celebration itself, its long history, and the ongoing controversy that surrounds it. Beyond the bulls, this is an exhilarating travelogue of two brothers exploring the Navarra region, its food and customs and hidden treasures, and the relationships that they form and reinforce each year as they applaud one another and prepare for the next season." -- Booklist "Best book out about everything you need to know before running with the Pamplona bulls whose author survived 70 runs.
