With his humorous take on two years on a polluted, middle-of-nowhere, constant-Macarena playing island on the Equator, Troost shows a life not many could - or would - imagine.
Marooned with only shaky boats, duct-taped planes, and a lack of food with the exception of rice and fish, Troost and his girlfriend Sylvia learn the oddities of the Pacific island's culture, including the reason behind missing noses, dancing, a lack of elderly dogs, and a fascination - not fear - of sharks. My only complaint about this memoir was the lack of pictures, which would have added to the stories. Unbeknownst to me, Troost has had other adventures, all written about, which are now on my to-read list.
