From Binky the Rat in Venice, to Lucy the crazed sheep in Dingle, Ireland, we follow Dave in his conquest of the world. Lost socks and cell phones are all part of life for the regular traveler, but having guns pointed at you is likely an adventure that you do not want to take part in. While it makes for a great photo op, it is really bad for the blood pressure.
This is a very funny book, and I enjoyed every page of it, but from a critical point of view, I did find a problem in the style. It is really two books combined into one. The first part is written as a humorous tale that has continuity, while the second half is a collection of unrelated essays. Both parts are funny, but I think it would have worked better if he had stuck to a single style.
Dave has agreed to an interview. I can’t wait!
