Customer Reviews

hilarious spoof of travel books

Room Service is a collection of stories, or rather dispatches, from a feckless Australian travel writer to his long-suffering editor. A couple of stories don't quite work: they're more like language experiments. But when he's at his best, no one can beat Moorhouse's dry sense of humor. The dispatch from China, where our hero spends most of the time getting drunk and corrupting poor Communist officals, is one of the funniest stories I've ever read.
