From Library Journal:
Blending Dave Barry's style of humor with Tim Cahill's taste for adventure, Lansky has found the ideal combination for highly entertaining travel writing. This enjoyable pastiche of anecdotes recounts more than 60 of the author's fun-loving, hair-raising, and off-the-wall excursions around the globe. His broad and balanced travel coverage takes many formsAone moment he's elegantly cruising the Caribbean on a luxury liner, the next sleeping under the stars on Mount Sinai. Any lover of adventure will enjoy accounts of blowgun hunting, 'gator wrestling, volcano hiking, and ostrich riding. Unusual experiences include test-driving a Ferrari, enduring a Chinese opera, and playing Finnish ice golf. Through Lansky's writing, one is rewarded with the pleasures of a novel, the excitement of a thriller, and the insightful information one would expect from a guidebook.

Review:
Hilarious. -- The Houston Chronicle, August 29, 1999
Lansky is pure excitability and enthusiasm. He has an eye for the strange and an ear for satire. Lansky's stories are those of a funny good friend's postcards - you always look forward to the next one. -- Orange County Register, July 11, 1999
