false 116967 4 Franz Wisner had the world by the tail. He was engaged to the beautiful Annie, with whom he shared a passion for conservative politics and a command of quotes from the movie <I>This Is Spinal Tap</I>. He worked as a government-relations official for a California real-estate giant, rubbing elbows with bigwig politicians. But then his fiancée dumped him days before their wedding, and his boss demoted him. So he dragged his younger brother, Kurt, a Seattle realtor and divorcé, to Costa Rica for his already-scheduled honeymoon, where Wisner spilled his guts to a prostitute in the hotel bar. ("Not once did it occur to me that I was having a heart-to-heart with a woman who faked orgasms for a living.") <p> Both inspired and desperate, the two quit their jobs, sold their houses, gave away their belongings, and traveled the world for two years, romping through Europe in a newly purchased Saab, then hitting the Middle East, Southeast Asia, South America, and Africa. Along the way, Wisner got to know his brother in a way he never had ("Kurt had become ... my new best friend") and fought to move past his failed relationship.<p> Wisner's story is straightforward, heartfelt, and highly readable--though without any true, biting insights--and should connect with readers who've gone through a breakup, career change, or midlife crisis, or fantasized about quitting the rat race. His best travel tip? Throw away the guidebooks, and talk to the locals instead. <I>--Andy Boynton</I> 112636 book 2005 Honeymoon with My Brother: A Memoir total:1436|5:218|4:536|3:462|2:173|1:47| 1436 5013 2097 370 4 8 false false Thu Mar 05 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Feb 17 21:13:36 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 06 01:09:57 -0800 2009 more...]]> 4 7 false false Mon Jan 19 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Tue Dec 09 06:01:00 -0800 2008 Mon Jan 19 19:27:32 -0800 2009
