First off, let me say that all the criticisms leveled against both Fleming and this book by the other reviews are 100% correct. To me, nothing can capture the unique experiences, sights, sounds and smells and other exotic sensations that one absorbs first-hand and even while the most reputed travelogues are well-written, discerning and poetic in turns, they are not my choice if I ever embark on an adventure to any of the places they describe with such admittedly succinct flair.

Alas it did...as all good things must come to an end.With Ian Fleming's reputation tied up so much with the character of James Bond, it's easy to forget he was also a noted journalist of his day. Please enter a valid postcode. Sorry, an error occurred while checking availability. Go into it with an open mind - it was written during a different time so there are many observations or comments that are sexist, racist, or otherwise inappropriate by today's standards that were socially acceptable back then.
