In 1988 as a fresh-faced 18-year-old, Barry Ley made his first tentative foray into the cut-throat world of timeshare sales. This book chronicles his adventures around the world, ranging from humorous anecdotes of sales tactics to hair-raising tales of life as a young, inexperienced Brit abroad.

What a ripping yarn!,
By John watts (Sidney, Australia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Blaggers: Adventures Inside the Sun-Kissed But Murky World of Holiday Timeshare (Paperback)
~This really is quite simply the best story I have come across in years. Mr Ley lifts the lid on the tricky world of timeshare sales in the major European hotspots, and does so with style. With all the partying he has done it is a wonder he found the time to chronicle it all , but he did. And magnificently so. It is impossible not to like him despite all the scams he has pulled. And with ape like gangsters, two timed women and one four foor six inch dwarf chasing after him, this blagger is~~ always on the move! Buy it! Read it! Love it!~
