I received an advance reader copy of this book from the Story Cartel so I could give my unbiased review here. And my unbiased opinion is: this is one great book!

You need to take your time with this one, savoring it like chocolate truffles, and it’s set up in sections so you can do that. Rather than using chronological order the writer divides his book geographically, describing spots tourists would most likely want to visit and giving directions on how to get there, as well as some encounters he’s had with the locals.

Mr Worker gives some historical background as well as thorough details of the area he’s writing about. By the time I was done reading about some of these places I was ready to pack my bags and go! His description of the soccer/football match had me cheering, too, though I have no interest in that sport. And his last few pages about his trials with customs inspectors and linguistic misunderstandings made me chuckle. There are no accompanying pictures, but most places mentioned will have internet ads and websites if a person wishes to take a look.

The title may seem a bit bland, but the book isn’t at all. I found it intelligently written, well crafted and well edited. The writer shows due respect and sensitivity to various cultures and customs. I believe anyone who enjoys visiting other countries or reading about others’ travels will really enjoy this book
