Book Review: Campervan Kama Sutra, John Perrier

John Perrier and his family, wife and three children, went on a 3-month road trip around Australia.  John planned the trip with a blind trust that everything would be fine.  It wasn’t.  The trip ended up costing a king’s ransom, if the king was from a small, third-world country.

This book was out of balance.  The grousing and smart-assing should have been the smaller half, and the descriptions of locations and activities should have been the larger half.  I enjoyed it enough to finish reading, but at the same time, it was truly annoying.  How interesting is running over your stuff when it falls off the vehicle, or replacing shredded tire after shredded tire?  Then, suddenly, there would be a tourist activity that was captivating.

I feel that I learned something about the variety of terrain and cultural differences in Australia, but if the Perrier family goes on another road trip, I think I’ll pass..
