I kept thinking this series of essays would get better, so I plowed on ahead; they got progressively worse!
A free copy might prove mildly amusingly in places, but this one deserves a DO NOT BUY! "recommendation".

Well, he got the rotten person part right, and comedy may be waiting to happen but it doesn't occur here. This would be better subtitled "a jerk travels the Caribbean making disparaging remarks about everyone." I do believe I just got my "worst read of the year" out of the way. Trust me, unless you think Animal House (with a healthy dose of borderline racism thrown in) is the pinnacle of wit, pass on this one.
