review 1: Wow what great book to read at the start of the year. Who hasn't said "I feel like selling everything and moving to a tropical paradise"? Well Norm schriever the author of South of Normal did just that and moved to Tamarindo Costa Rica and wrote a book. This book is fantastic. Norm is a decent guy who Pushups in the Prayer Room: Reflections from a Year Backpacking Around the World more out of life. This is not like other books like Under the Tuscan Sun, written by yuppies lamenting about the trials and tribulations of living in a villa, and "trying to adapt to the local. Ways", that book was good but this book is far more genuine. I highly recommend this book. It is funny, it is touching and it is a guidebook of how one man dealt with wanting more in our technology crazed ... more21st century.*****!
review 2: At first, I thought this might be a travel book, but then, from the first page, I knew I was in for an adventure and a half! However, I definitely consider this more of a literary memoir--that just happens to be filled with a whole lot of kick-ass, edge-of-your-seat scenes. Additionally, the author has a very strong voice that pulls you in even further, so half the fun is hearing what his reaction to the situations will be. At times I imagine him as Bruce Willis, and at other times, Adam Sandler with a surf board. Lots of wit and hilarious passages. Also, if read a bit deeper, the author has some important messages and ideas to share. The perfect by-the-beach-book for this summer. Highly recommend it and will be eager to read his next book. less
