As the sub-title says, this is book about "madness and chaos in a strange land". Written with obvious love and humour for Turkey and its people, this book is one of the best I have read this year. I laughed, I cried, and I could not put it down. Fabulous! A good friend of mine is dating the gay "Jamie Oliver" of Istanbul so this book also brought back all his weird and wacky stories.

Brendan Shanahan is a sensitive, witty and extremely gifter writer. Hi ability to see the extraordinary in the mundane was remarkable. I have thouroughly enjoyed the book and look forwad to his next creation.

I really enjoyed this book. Brendan Shanahan is everything you want in a travel-writer - thoughtful, observant, funny, bibulous - and his (relative) youth gives this book a slant that others of this calibre don't possess. The book is completely gimmick-free - unusual in travel books these days - and I think it's a great addition to the travel literature on Turkey.

As a Turkish-Australian it was extremely insightful to hear of a foreigner's experience of Turkey. It was refreshingly honest, funny and touching. The images of the east were so vividly described that I could almost see myself there again. I would recommend this book to anyone who wants an honest, open and realistic picture of traveling in Turkey.
