An interesting insight to what tourism can do to a community, becoming a parody of itself to keep the interest of foreigners even to the point of tearing itself apart. The pacing felt a bit strange - it took half the book to get to the intrigue - but the set up to the final takeaway, when it came, was fascinating.
