Summary: Probably the WORST travelogue ever written
Comment: I never finished this book.
The style is childish, usage of English poor, what little background information is presented was obviously all gathered from the same one travel guide.
So much of that "information" is wrong and even derogatory that the Dani people could sue the author for defaming!
Can you believe that Kipling's Jungle Book is cited in the "bibliography"??? It is true!!! :-))))
No more comment is needed, I believe.

Summary: Not worth it
Comment: I bought this one because I was planning a trip to New Guinea and wanted to read up on it a bit. Big waste of 15 bucks -- I have to concur with the other reviewers. This is perhaps the only book I've ever read where I found myself taking an active dislike to the author.

A better book about New Guinea (minus the faux-zen ramblings, but with discussions of marsupials) is Throwim Way Leg.

Summary: Finishing this book was a test of my will
Comment: I whole-heartedly agree with what the above to folks had to say. The author was absolutlely hopeless and self-absorbed.
