bruised and flawed; but poignant and accomplished

Unlike other reviewers of this work, I found the book to be an interesting and poignant offering from a man known mainly as an adventurer/photographer/artist - not a literary guru. I'd rather read the imperfect but insightful works of an iconoclast who offers his uncensored impressions of an exotic land than some polished, politically correct and literary highbrow piece. Whether you are into his insightful and colorful words, his stunning and captivating images, or neither one, one is easily awed at the accomplishment of bringing so much attention to this land. Peter Beard is one-of-a-kind, and this little controversial book is merely one among many of his works that manage to successfully step outside of the mainstream; and deftly merge artistic sensibility (and a unique vision for beauty) with raw, edgy curiosity about life.
