5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book, October 1, 2005

A Kid's Review

My family just got this book a week ago from my dad's company. We are moving next week for Europe from San Diego, California and this book was just what I needed. It contains great advice on how what kinds of things to take with you on the plane and for the weeks when we don't have a house. But the best chapter was about international schools and all the great things I will get to do and see when I move. I would really recommend this book to any kid who's moving overseas.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Hidden Gem, November 15, 2005

By	Student "Peter" (USA) - See all my reviews

I found this gem of a book at a local bookstore in my hometown. Club Expat is a nuanced coming-of-age tale of two highly intelligent young men. Part biography, part travel guide, part allegory. It is at once a ledger of travels and travails, and a discourse on what it means to be truly human. Their prose is never forced, but flows with the gentle grace reminiscent of the adventures of youth. While the larger scope encompasses the human condition manifested in the socio-political landscapes of Post-Modern Europe and Asia, anecdotes and witticisms dot the pages hither and thither. The prose doesn't stray however, as these recollections and reminiscences are weaved into the literary tapestry of Club Expat.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Ground-Breaking Work, November 15, 2005

By	Hajoozei - See all my reviews

Akash Shah is ridiculously good-looking. His friends, peers, and advisors have always known that. But what we learned from this book is that Akash Shah is truly a genius among man, a veritable giant in the field of literary life history. Truly a great read, and likely to be an impactful work in the years to come.
