Adventure traveler Mike Good loves Mother Nature. Judging by the hurricanes, volcanoes, tidal waves, and bolts of lightning it is unrequited. Mike was intrigued with exotic islands, coral reefs, and lush jungles—that meant the tropics. The tropics meant the Third World. Low budget home of Tarzan movies, brutal hotel beds, viscious veggie plates, untreatable diseases, and cannibals.Then there were … and cannibals.Then there were the venomous snakes, deadly insects, and carnivorous vines. Also, life-threatening buses, trains, and airplanes. Plus, pesky drug laws, enraged villagers, vengeful oceans, vengeful hangovers, port city muggers…even a KGB spy.

This is a funny book. I enjoyed reading about the “weird trips” Senor Bueno made throughout the years, he doesn’t mind making fun of himself. The author gave a me a copy of this book and this is my voluntary review.
Not kindle unlimited, got it from one of my freebie sites.

She does not love him back.At least judging by the hurricanes, tidal waves, and bolts of lightning she hurled his way.Since childhood Mike Good was intrigued with exotic islands, coral reefs, and lush jungles. . .that meant the tropics. . .Third World home of Tarzan movies, funky hotels, untreatable diseases, and sexy headhunter chicks! Also, carnivorous plants, poisonous snakes, and venomous insects! Not to mention life-threatening buses, trains, and airplanes. Then there were the enraged mobs of local villagers, vengeful oceans, vengeful hangovers, port city muggers…even a KGB spy.In the nine zany short stories featured in Weird Trips (a sampler of Mike’s dubious adventures spread over Hawaii, Mexico, South America, and Southeast Asia), he will be threatened by them all! Other fun things, too: sinking boats, cartel thugs, enraged villagers, even a playful fish that wanted to swim up his penis. Seriously. And let’s not forget those buzzkilling drug laws and pesky executions. Let’s just say, when Mike Good hit the road, the road hit back.Read the hilarious travel adventures in Weird Trips and be glad you weren’t there!

Breaking Good #1 – Had to break this down into small pieces nightly, else I saturated on the fun and silliness. The book did get better after a few chapters and I could read more in a sitting. This is a well written, funny book that moves along faster after a few chapters. The beginning chapters are OK, just in small doses. Mike tells a good story that keeps you involved in one way or another. I wanted to read Weird Trips and High In The Andes since Breaking Good was actually good.
Weird Trips #2 – Another well written, hilarious book. Nine easy-to-read tales that made Depends more than a thought. Mike is definitely an entertaining storyteller and has the gift of gab and blarney. I enjoyed this book immensely, as well as Breaking Good. I found this book on some website giveaway.
High In The Andes #3 – I get the author’s newsletters now and wanted to review this book. This well written book comes from a gifted author full of blarney and humor. The reader can’t put the book down easily. The vivid descriptions, the fast paced plot and the characters that fill the book are highly entertaining. I didn’t have time to read this in one sitting, so I read a chapter just before bedtime. I’m a happy person anyway, but reading this much humor just put a bigger smile on my face the next morning. Thanks Mikey, when’s the next book coming out?
The Machu Picchu Blues #4 – Boy, this one took a while to read, but that’s a good thing; more pages, more fun and silliness. Another well written, entertaining, exciting and humor filled book from a laid-back author. The experiences the author shares is well laced with humor and truth, and the emotions run the gamut. His descriptions are vivid and you’re the spider on the wall, in the bus, in jail, hanging in the tree . . .
Kona Gold #5 – More fun; more laughs; more adventures. If you’ve read any of the other books, you know what’s in store for the reader. Well written with vivid descriptions, you think you’re sitting there watching the events as they happen. You never get bored reading one of Mikey’s stories. 4*
