I think it's a feat when I guy can be both a responsible gentleman and a carefree hedonist all in one. Granted, it took the guy's wife leaving him to motivate him to take this tryst around the world, but he did it, so he's got credit due there. The phrases were sharp and well put together for the most part. Some of the analogies got old quickly, but the author admitted to that so he was redeemed if only slightly. I must be a bit of a romantic because I was hoping, (and was so happy when he did) that he would meet up with the filmaker that he bumped into in Ireland. How storybook perfect is it that they met up again on a secret island getaway. And how small world is it that the same man who helped him out in Vegas was the one who told the filmaker where to go to find him? Overall I'd say this is a fast paced read that I didn't want to put down because I wanted to know what crazy situation would happen next. As a sidenote: I also liked the attention to detail paid to the cover. Each of the words is made up of the objects most relevant to the particular legs of the trip. I enjoy when writers pay attention to small details like that.
