[Book Review] Fun, and shows the difference between an expat writer and a travel writer – one showing the dirty, mundane, often boring reality of a place, the other superficially highlighting its “entrancing nature” and “delightfully colorful locals” – whatever that means.
Troost’s book gets past the fairytale images of living on pretty islands to provide plenty of detail, sewage problems and all, of life in the Pacific.
A quick, interesting read, though, FYI, there’s not much sex – you can probably blame the title on the publisher.
