.God's Middle Finger: Into the Lawless Heart of the Sierra Madre
City Travel Guides > Books > Central and South America
by: Richard Grant

March 04, 2008
From the blurb on the cover I expected something more than this, the authors experiences arent that amazing apart from his last one which drove him out of the Sierra altogether. He meets up with some interesting characters, relates a lot of second hand information about the drugs trade, but rarely gets into the heart of things, a few people trying to sell him drugs is about as about as deep as it gets.

Granted it would have been pretty hard to get into the scene much further without getting killed, but I kept expecting him to do so. (Go deeper, not get killed.) Recommended though overall, and did make me want to go see for myself.

.The Gringo Trail: A Darkly Comic Road-Trip Through South America
City Travel Guides > Books > Central and South America
by: Mark Mann

March 15, 2006
The gringo trail is a list of bus stops along the Andes spliced between political diatribes lifted from books by Marxist academics. Little in this book is original. The author deplores Latin American cities and exalts the countryside. Both are extraordinary and deserve positive attention. Quito, is a very romantic city with an extraordinary history. The cities of Colombia are each unique and phenomenal but receive little attention from the author. Instead, the author focuses entirely on the religious experience of South American drugs and the romantic poverty of the indigenous community. Mann has little positive to say about the Latino community and culture. Instead, Mann wears the hair shirt of academics who would rather criticize everything ... Read More:
