Negative Positive
Title: Certainly no Hunter S. Thompson
Review: While I had a couple of laughs, this book would've been a lot more fun if the author was a better storyteller. The shallow pseudo-informative bits on Cambodian culture & politics don't help either. This book should've been written by one of the lowlife drifters Gilboa tries to portray. Someone who's been shagging fourteen year olds and smoking dope for years, not by a boring business journalist. Still, it's probably a good book to carry around for backpackers hoping to strike up a conversation on the bus or the beach. Try doing that with a copy of Agrippa's Three Books of Occult Philosophy.
