Review title: Authors should be skeptics
Product review: I will only rate this book based on the author's experiences in a place I have known intimately all of my adult life: Iquitos, Peru. Shah, an experienced traveller, was completely taken in by one of the most utterly transparent charlatans in Iquitos. The gringo ex-pat scene there is not unlike other tropical spots, and one would think the author might be aware of the tall-tale spinning, incompetent types he was likely to encounter. Not so, apparently! But on behalf of all who know the area, a hearty thanks to the author for providing us with hours of belly laughs! Poor fellow really got taken for a ride. If his fact checking on other portions of the book was similar, I can only say, "reader beware!"
