4.5 Stars Unflinchingly real, unapologetic, and undeniably entertaining…
Let me start this review off with the caveat that if your sensibilities are easily offended by coarse language and licentious behavior, this book is not for you. And if you are looking for a travel book that consists of orderly lists of five-star hotels and restaurants where you can enjoy a leisurely visit to a sleek foreign city without sacrificing any of the comforts and amenities of home, again, this book is not for you....more

As I read this I kind of knew what I was getting into. I thought I knew what this was all about. Just some random person writing about his travels and his witty and hilarious commentary in between. I got what I thought. I wouldn't say there was anything that really surprised me. I love to travel and sometimes you can't and you live through someone else. That was nice, but I think all travel books are like that. Then again, I shouldn't say that because this is the first of I hope many books about...more
For those looking for a travel guide on recommended sites to see and accommodation etc. you are barking up the wrong tree here. If you are looking to hear about someone's personal travel experience in a bio/memoir/journal style then please buy this book. There are some incredible adventures, strong opinions and some graphic details but it is worth the read. The author tells his stories in a manner that make you feel as though you are at a pub or cafe hearing these thinking wow and I dare say lea...more

We have just finished and put into print our latest book, Traveling for the hell of it! by Nick Gerrard.
Nick approached us a few weeks ago with his manuscript which is already available as an eBook. He was broke (and still is I believe) but desperate to get a print version produced and on sale. He didn’t have the skills or the money to work his manuscript up to a print ready file. We looked at the book and decided it was...more

This was a really good book. There were a few issues, however. It had tons of grammatical errors, lots of ranting, profanities, fighting, and drinking. He explored various parts of Europe and Africa. I appreciated the investigated issues such as African dependence, true travel, organic products, etc. A few stories were repeated verbatim which was annoying. However, I must repeat that this was a good book and recommended for all who travel abroad or plan to do so. Last sentence of the book best s...more
Desperately needs an editor. Really great, exciting stories but too many grammar errors and exclamation points to make it a smooth read. Once this book is edited it can easily get 4 maybe 5 stars.
First big serious review of my book! http://www.outsiderwriters.org/2012/a...
