Title: Ugly American
Review: I'm a great fan of this sort of book but this one surprized me. Ms Halliday takes us on quite a journey throughout the world and focuses almost exclusively on her own discomforts--how poor she is, how high she is, how dirty she is, how sick she is, how unlucky she is to have male companions less game for "authentic" experiences than herself, then there is her bowel...I realized that I was reading a book by the proverbial ugly American. As such it is a chastening tale to us all, and worth the read.
Is the review positive or negative?
