This isn't a tell-all book dishing dirt on his ex-wife, Kim Basinger. The point to this book was to point out the inherent conficts of interest and unfairness in the legal system involving family and divorce law, presumably in the hopes of raising awareness for the reader to help change some laws. There are some personal anecdotes, not only of his own experience (to the extent he was allowed to do so under his own legal constraints), but also those of several other men who told the author their stories of divorce. As is often the case, the stories defy common sense. Importantly, he spends a full chapter introducing the concept of Parental Alienation Syndrome (PAS) to increase awareness of its existence to those who may be falling victim to it. There is also a chapter where he interviews a Harvard Law professor who expounds on the rise of women's rights in Law and how it is affecting family court cases as a result. I read this book because it apoke of father's rights, something I know my fellow stepmoms struggle with often on a daily basis (stepmoms/second wives even get a shout-out at the end for supporting their men through such craziness). But I was very glad to see the author frame the problems as FAMILY rights though, as it affects both sexes including the children involved. He does offer a few solutions which would need to happen though laws changing, as well as some things a person getting divorced might be able to do on their own within the current laws to make the situation better (ex: allow mediation and work towards it's sucess, don't just run to court). The book is plainly written, but there is a lot of repetition in it as though the authors' intent was to produce stand-alone chapters for piecemeal reading. However, I don't think the chapters themselves turned out to stand on their own. Ultimately, the entire book should be read. It might have been good to have another chapter or so on choosing the right mate in the first place, or working through your issues and staying married as two additional options to avoid the craziness of divorce though.

So read the title to this book... then forget it. The title is completely misleading, as it makes the reader believe she is picking up one more book about the romance and fulfillment of world travel. This book is not about love, not about malaria, and not about a peace corp "poster boy." BUT, this book is excellent, and it is excellent precisely because it is crude and honest and not worried about romanticizing the experience. In an age of literature filled with divorcees finding themselves while riding on elephants, this book is starkly realistic, crude, and, well, hilarious. Brown-Waite is self-depreciating, and the reader benefits largely from it. Having traveled much myself, I can attest to the fact that it is often dirty, frustrating, hot, full of bugs, and most good memories are tinged with memories of traveler's diarrhea. For once these issues are addressed, and hilariously so. To be clear, the first chapter is rather lovey-dovey, but after that, Brown-Waite's honesty is so very refreshing, and she has this great way of making the fulfillment the travel brings her seem like like a mixed blessing. You can feel her smile as she assimilates in Ugandan culture, but at the same time know that she feels awkward and out-of-place, and would very much enjoy being back in the States with a "normal" job and life. Among travel lit, a must read.

Aaaaand, we’re back. Everything that I felt was lacking in the second book (eg, my interest) was revived completely in this book. Daine is back in the land of the two-leggers and is facing the oft named but never before seen Emperor Mage Ozorne. And it turns out that Ozorne really shouldn’t have messed with our Daine. There’s a whole chapter called “Daine loses her temper” which I’m still grinning about. Daine may seem cute with her crunchy granola, tree-hugging, “save the whales” exterior but if you mess with her friends, she will bring. a world. of pain. Daine, Numair, Alanna, and a whole crew of Tortallans are sent to Carthak in an attempt at diplomacy and peace, after the Carthaki Emperor has allegedly opened the walls between the immortal and mortal realms. Daine is there in a very minor capacity, to heal the Emperor’s prized pet birds. Carthak is a very different place than Tortall: human slavery, censorship, and violence are a way of life there. The Emperor initially seems kind, even playful, but he has a hidden agenda. Along the way, we get to learn more about Numair’s past and meet a few of his old “friends.” If there’s one thing I’m sure about after reading this book, it’s this: Tamora Pierce has spent a significant amount of time in the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History. For anyone who’s ever visited the dinosaur exhibit, Daine’s new power will have a vividly frightening dimension. It’s just plain kismet that I happened to visit that very place only a weekend before starting this book. *shudders* There is only very minor development on the romance front, which I am extremely happy about in one sense. Why does Daine need a love interest at all? She’s wonderful all on her own. Yay for strong, independent ladies!! … On the other hand…Numair. Enough said. Daine actually has a bit of a “rival” in this book, when Numair runs into an old flame who’s obviously still interested. And by “rival” I mean someone that Daine barely notices is there and then treats with kindness and respect later on. I’m pretty sure that I was about one hundred times more peeved about the whole thing than Daine was. I fail. And now I must cut this short, as I just happened to read this tantalizing passage this morning: “Suddenly he [Numair] learned something that he’d never considered before. For a brief moment, that fresh knowledge erased even his sense of magical cataclysm.” And if I don’t find out what that’s all about, my head might explode. Perfect Musical Pairing The Cranberries – Liar This kick-ass song is my little tribute to Emperor Ozorne. There's nothing quite like the stench of fear in the afternoon...
