This is the story of Josh's rude awakening, from the sleaze of Fleet Street to the terror of the LA riots, from clubbing at the Wag to slumming it at Glastonbury, from Oxford to London via Venice, Spetses, Laguna Beach and Bromsgrove - plus copious quantities of drugs, and even a tiny bit of romance.

this was a fun read. bit of that snarky, i-know-better-than-the-world ism.
also, not sure that it's sensitive enough to appeal to the reader looking for depth.
but as an adventure to break out of the box, here's a life described that some of us always have a hint of wanting to live.
The first half of this book was excellent, tracing the author's time at University and his first forays into the "real" world. Then as these forays became more and more drug fuelled - this was reflected accordingly in the narrative. Really hard work by the end !
