Title: Good Read for Rich, Entitled, and Self-Absorbed Travelers
Review: I spent about two years reading all the travel narratives I could find, and there were a number of books which impressed me with the high quality of the writing and the sense of adventure contained therein. This was not one of them. The title "Honeymoon with My Brother" is absolutely fabulous, but it only goes downhill once you actually open the cover. The author has a clear sense of entitlement and absolutely gleams with his own self-importance. This is not an adventure. This is a poorly cobbled recount of the author's accomplishments under the guise of modesty. He claims to be throwing away a corporate lifestyle, yet it's clear he never, not even once, actually escapes from the shadow of his "former" corporate life. The present (i.e., the travels in the book) is continually overshadowed by his previous achievements in the workplace.
Is the review positive or negative?
