Tony's (mis) adventures are over the top funny!

Revisado: 02-09-24

As with all of Tony James Slater's travel books, the situations he finds himself in are so absurd that you know they actually happened. Best of all, his writing gives the sense that you are right there with him, knowing that he will somehow successfully get himself out of precarious situation after precarious situation. Then you will want to have a beer and just hang out with him, recalling the day's adventures!

Wonderful story, but do pay attention to who each character is as they are introduced.

The author finds humor in (almost) any situation

Revisado: 01-23-21

Tony James Slater clearly lives life to its fullest, no matter how daunting the circumstances -- in this case his experience volunteering at an underfunded Ecuadorian animal rehabilitation center. He finds humor - and sometimes hilarity - in the abysmal accommodations and the expectation that he will manage to single handedly construct huge enclosures, climb trees to bring down bears, retrieve missing large, toothy, sharp - clawed animals, or spend hours immobilized in a car packed to the roof with people, supplies, and several very incontinent animals - all without speaking a word of Spanish. The author recounts all of this in a way that recognizes his naivite (my euphemism for what he would probably call stupidity) in getting into these situations, while at the same time being very respectful of the centers mission and the people involved with it.
