review 1: This was a free book. I had a hard time getting into it. I started reading four different books, one chapter at a time. The author wrote the story of his trip to the Philippines with his fiancee. He lusted after Hazel's best friend, Joy. It was hard to understand why Joy got the task of watching out for Jason. I read some of the other reviews, and one was harsh on the authors version of life in the Philippines. This was a difficult book to read. I'm glad it over.
review 2: I usually really enjoy memoirs, especially when it's someone traveling to another country; however, I honestly was really disappointed with this one. I thought the title of the book was very misleading and the use of the word "incredible" a stretch. Though I think it is wonderful th... moreat someone can get into a terrible accident and survive it, it's not until 76% into the book that you even get to this part. That means I read 75% of pretty much nothing. I found the writing to be very dry and the main guy a little sickening with his selfish and spoiled attitude towards everything he encountered in the Philippines, as well as his fantasizing about his fiance's BFF. I think it could've been written in a better way, and perhaps the "climax" of it could have happened quite a bit sooner, leaving some room for the writer to reflect more on life lessons learned and how his relationship was impacted with his fiance. Just my opinion though. less
