Life among the natives

Written by Diane M on May 20th, 2011

  • Book Rating: 5/5

This was a very witty read. Mr. Troost and his girlfriend lived for two years on an island that was very primitive. The natives were friendly and helpful, unless they had too much beer. They learned how to live a very simple life under harsh conditions (extreme heat, no AC, unclean living conditions) but had many adventures and even began to enjoy their stay. The English narrator was very good.
