"Despite already knowing the general gist of the story, reading this book still makes me feel like I'm part of a bigger conspiracy and that I'm, on some conscious level, being (slowly and ominously) sucked into a tragic end that I have no prior knowledge of. I guess that's what good journalism does best - which is incorporating, in its reader, a keen sense of foreign anticipation."

I'm going where you can tie up a boat where you want and the sun's free, and so is the air you breathe and the sea where you swim, and you can roast yourself on a coral reef.""
