What a cracking adventure the lads got up to! But, if this is truly a non-fiction account of the author's travels, it's difficult to condone their behaviour. They started a mafia war, conned the locals, stole a yacht, started a fire, stole money, and their friend died. I'm finding it hard to believe John didn't embellish his travels. Putting that issue aside though, I really enjoyed reading this. It was well written entertainment, despite some the eyebrow raising derogatory comments.
Word of warning... This was written in the nineties and hasn't aged well. It can and will be offensive to modern readers.
