Laugh-out-loud funny. This book was hysterical! Troost writes about how he and his girlfriend end up spending two years on the main atoll of Tarawa, in the equatorial Pacific, and his descriptions of their living conditions, and the local customs, and their gradual change from sophisticated city people to island beachcombers is just priceless. I can't think of anyone that wouldn't enjoy this book. It never bogs down, always entertains, and the laughs just keep on coming.
