I have recommended this book to every woman I know who likes to travel (with a little bit of romance in there). It was hilarious and such a great read.

This book was not what I thought it was, or at least not what I wanted it to be. The writer was wildly unlikeable, self-absorbed, and a bit more than casually racist.

I enjoyed this book even though I can't imagine living life the way that Newman lives hers. I do enjoy traveling, but I don't do it to step away from my life and all responsibilities and become a different person. Newman uses traveling as an excuse to lower her inhibitions and live a life ignoring consequences. She obviously managed to get away with this, but I'd rather have more control over my life than this. Her adventures mostly revolve around going to bars in foreign countries and sleeping with foreign men. She does manage to get out during the day occasionally and do some interesting local things, but these are not the focus here. Newman comes off as an elitist much of the time, acting as if anyone can just drop everything and go travel around the world anytime they want. She does acknowledge her smugness at one point when she mentions the writers strike and how the writers were living it up while other people who supported them were actually suffering. Though she points this out, she seems to feel no real remorse for this fact. All that said, Newman is a natural storyteller and she does poke fun at herself on many occasions and doesn't sugarcoat all of her drunken escapades around the world.
