Stu Lloyd 's work is deservedly popular among those described as not easily offended . Yet his enjoyable new book shows that under the laddish exterior beats the heart of an engaging individual who has a genuine interest in Asia 's wildlife--human and otherwise!--Nury Vittachi

A hilarious read Entertaining to a hilt, this book elevates armchair travelling to places like the Cook Islands, Oahu, Tijuana and Goa to another more quirky, more fascinating level.--Lifestyle magazine

"The perfect storyteller!"--"The Weekly Telegraph, UK"

"Travel writer Lloyd chronicles his journey from South Africa to the Cook Islands, making stops at tropical wonderlands including India, Hawaii, Mexico and Costa Rica. Lloyd's objective in each place is essentially the same, "to go for a drink or nineteen," and bring us along. Lloyd is a proud drinker and an unapologetic sexist, reducing nearly every woman he encounters to a bare minimum of anatomy and color, such as Erika in Costa Rica, a "bounteously bosomed beauty in a yellow shirt." When Lloyd does get out of the bar, he offers vivid, compelling descriptions of the sites he encounters, particularly India."--"Publishers Weekly"

A thigh-slappingly funny travelogue about the author's boo-boos in the tropics.

Reseña del editor:

In this riotous romp through South Africa, Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, the Philippines, India, Mexico, Hawaii, Costa Rica and Rarotonga, Stu often finds more Purgatory than Paradise, more Hell than Heaven. But none of this curbs his passion for The Tropics. Or cold beer. So lie back in a deckchair, put on your sunscreen and join Stu in this quirky quest for Paradise.. NOTA: El libro no está en español, sino en inglés.
