Interesting
There are a lot of great things in this book.
The descriptions are spot on and Mr Williams' travel stories about all over the world are fascinating.
The only problem that I have with his book is his reference to Nazi death camps with a name change adding a religious name in the name of the camps. Would have made them seem less evil. He was trying to explain why bullfighting on Sunday was alright with the Catholic church because they have a saint's name in the description of the bullfighting. Not, in my opinion, a good thing to do.

Excellent
Couldn’t put it down such a great read as I am a traveler myself. I actually found some really good tips and ideas for my next adventure

I received a free copy of this book in exchange for a fair and honest review. All opinions are my own.
The humorous adventures of author Simon Williams continue in Wanderlost 2: More Shots of Literary Tequila for the Restless Soul. From the not so glamorous life of a movie extra to over the top river guides and everything in between, the author continues to amaze readers with tales that seem too surreal to be true. Here is the synopsis:
The Synopsis
From being abducted off the streets of Los Angeles in the middle of the night, to facing off with the German mafia in a Bavarian nightclub, to wandering lost in a forest at the foothills of Mt. Fuji with ten people I just met, what else can go wrong on a trip? These are one man's fascinating stories of wandering our planet that Travel and Leisure magazine doesn't want you to know.
Simon Williams doesn't go looking for trouble in life, but when he finds it he never keeps his mouth shut.

The Review
This humorous memoir/travel book is a real gut buster. Filled with hilarious tales of hitchhiking miscommunications, border agents with a mean streak and inexplicably getting involved in the finding of a dead man, the author’s life seems to take him from one adventure to another. These sarcasm laden passages do a great job of highlighting the cultural differences between various nations on our world, and brings often stressful situations into a better light to help diffuse some of that traveling stress.
This book also gives good insight into what to expect when traveling through certain areas. From the streets of Los Angeles to the travel system in Japan and everything in between, these stories bring a life lesson on how to react to situations (or not react in some cases), and showcases one man’s journey that taught him the hardships and lessons of the world through travel.
The Verdict
This is a wonderful continuation of this amazing five part travel/memoir series. Filled with action, humor and experiences everyone will be able to find to relate to, this is a must read book for anyone interested in traveling around the world.
