| Fielding's danger finder | "This is a book for adventurers or those to want
to understand what real adventure is about." or: places that you probably should not go to. "If you decide to wax up your Discover card and actually go to some of the locations described in this book, please remember that visiting these places may likely get you killed or earn you the nickname Stumpy. On the other hand, since more people are injured in their homes than outside them, you may be safer traveling to some of the places in this book. So remember, this is a book about dangerous places, dangerous people and dangerous things. If you are one of those people who doesn't know the difference between phone sex and everlasting love, quickly put this book back on the shelf. Nothing in this book will get you out of a Somali jail and no one in Chechnya gives a damn if you really are a nice person and make a mean chocolate mousse. War zones reek of the smell of diesel, death, vomit and musty blown-up buildings. There is nothing photogenic, amusing or entertaining about other people's suffering. We do not (as we have been accused of in the Sunday London Times) endorse, encourage or approve of travel to dangerous areas unless you are there for a purpose and fully understand the risks involved." |
