Watch Out for Pirates: Tales From a Journey Author’s Life by Jules Brown
3.5 stars
Watch Out for Pirates: Tales From a Journey Author’s Life (e book #3). Jules Brown has been a journey author for greater than thirty years—he has quite a lot of mileage underneath his belt and he’s been to locations all around the world.
This sequence accommodates anecdotes from locations Jules has been to, his seemingly random musings about folks and locations. As an example, the chapter on New York is all about getting tipping proper. The chapter set in Portugal seems again on the fairy-tale dream of a house in idyllic rural Portugal and compares it to the tough actuality with not even a comedic builder or eccentric neighbour to spice up the expertise.
Amusing snippets written in a semi-biographical model. Every chapter gives one or two factors to remove, however, because the title suggests, it’s a e book of entertaining tales reasonably than a journey information.
