Helpful Score: 3

This is one of those books that if it weren't true, you'd never believe it. Not only is it *really* funny, but it talks about a portion of the world that no one even knows about, or if they did, have probably forgotten about. It's amazing how different life is outside our comfortable Western world, and Troost really brings that home. I kept reading passages to my husband saying, "Can you believe this?" or, "Did you even know about this?" Plus you really come to love the people of Tarawa (though believe me, they don't want or need our love). An incredible book - highly recommended, even to those who hate to read (like my husband LOL).
