Alec Le Sueur

Hilarious account of running a 'western' hotel in Lhasa, Tibet - a mighty struggle.

He has an interesting story to tell, but it's marred by unnecessary and contrived attempts at humor.

A lovely, funny book. Echo of Bill Bryson - but the early good stuff. It had tears of laughter running down my cheeks. Made especially poignant because I spent three weeks in Lhasa about a year before the author. Highly recommended - especially if you have ever been to Tibet!

I read this for a book group and am sorry I wasted my money.
