## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting and totally relatable to anyone who has travelled abroad alone and off the beaten track.
*by J***M on October 25, 2024*

The book was not only a well written and interesting account of the author’s journey, but also about what was going on in America and Central America at the time. I found it very relatable since I have travelled alone both in the US and abroad often with less than a cursory than a cursory knowledge of the local language. I loved how he incorporated not only the politics of the day but his good humored self reflections about being raised Catholic. His descriptions if riding as a passenger with a driver he did not know, through the mountains on unpaved and narrow roads, brought flashbacks of my own experiences. Great read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Book for People who enjoy Travel, Unexpected Adventures and Huge Personal Growth
*by C***P on August 23, 2023*

If you are looking for an engaging narrative about the growth and development of an eager, smart, observant young adult, who eventually becomes a successful banker and attorney, this is the book for you. The author, Denis Forster, is funny, sentimental and accurate while describing his journey to Central America, immersing himself in the country's Spanish language, beauty, culture, and people.I love how refreshingly honest Denis is about his family, and friends (old and new), the impact of Catholicism in his life and in the lives of the people of the underdeveloped countries he visited. It is also a walk down memory lane as the story opens in 1961 in the USA--a very different America from the one we live in today.This is a lively, fun-filled memoir worth your attention. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!Christine, Denver, CO

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Entertaining, informative, very professional
*by P***R on May 23, 2023*

In addition to being a superb story, I found this book to be professional and first-rate in every respect with lots of attention to detail, maybe a result of the author’s lawyer training. In reading the entire manuscript, I did not find a single error, grammatical or otherwise. This is very unusual. The cover, book description, and author bio are all top quality. There is a good, detailed table of contents, which is uncommon. I particularly liked the interior layout with bright, white paper, easy-to-read font, and the design with helpful subheadings, which are set out and identified in bold. The inclusion of several maps and photographs is a huge, helpful contribution to being able to follow and understand the trip. Importantly, the writing style, alternating between serious and humorous, is smooth and engaging and the subject matter is fascinating. All this combines to produce a superb, unique, exceptional book.
