Thanks for saying that! I agree. I did not like the book much. Seems like everyone else did. I am just not into books where people who do stupid things and write about it cleaverly get all the attention. I sure would like a book about a well planned trip with people who actually know what they are doing. I can see why the general public would like it though - they can relate. Yes it is well written and funny. But that just is not enough.
