Review: A hilarious and highly unusual travalogue
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 9, 2011
An unusual travelogue which focuses more on the time aboard ship than the places visited. Readers will enjoy the hilarious anecdotes about the crew members and life on board, and get a real feel for the life of a working cargo freighter, something which I imagine isn't readily documented elsewhere by an independent witness. The author uses a very honest style, not exaggerating events to provide more drama, giving a diarized feel to the work which will appeal to readers who enjoy a more journalistic approach to auto-biographical works. A fascinating read, and a must for all hardcore travellers.
