[ 5.0 stars ] "It wasn't until I was well into the book which is a fun book to read, that the author let me know that he considers himself an 'alcoholic'. Inagine that. An author of a great book on the joyous adventures of drinking that he lets you know he may indeed have a problem with alcohol. Which did not cause me to dislike the book one bit. But it is the fact he writes about great drinking out ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 4.0 stars ] "Lawrence Osborne's book is one that I'm not quite sure why I elected to read, and which I am therefore at something of a loss about how to approach in my evaluation. It is a somewhat meandering discussion of the various countries he has visited in which the Islamic prohibition of alcoholic beverages is enforced to a greater or lesser extent. It is also a memoir of his own drinking, and a ..." Courtesy by Amazon

[ 3.0 stars ] "The writing is beautiful, but my interest level was severely taxed with far too many "and now where can the alcoholic go and find a drink in this Moslem country where plenty of people, especially the rich and powerful, drink despite the many levels of prohibition." The alcoholic writer is an overused trope and I suspect does not get as much sympathy from this reader as the author would have prefer ..." Courtesy by Amazon
