Review on amazon.co.uk: Vulgar, shocking, painful. The price of honesty, February 8, 2005 Reviewer: A reader from England This book is a dark, painful, vulgar true to life story of simply being human. It's written with flair, honesty and without doubt love, and is the kind of book that could readily be misunderstood. The degree to which you reject the storyteller and his tale will tellingly reveal how you judge yourself. Paul Pisces writes with charm, wit and style about the parts of me I'd rather disown. By his owning those parts in him, I too am given another chance. They say honesty is the best policy. This book is vulgar, shocking, painful. The price of honesty. It's also very funny. How could it not be? Amazon Reviews

Colchester, Essex, England. Local boy makes bad.

After leaving the University of London, ex Colchester Royal Grammar School pupil Paul Pisces' life slowly descends into a web of computers, alcohol, alcoholism and depression.
The brothels of Amsterdam, however, provide some sexual excitement.
Eventually following redundancy he takes up sex tourism in the Far East (Angeles, Philippines & Pattaya, Thailand) to relieve the boredom.
A brief respite is encountered when he finds a job in San Francisco during the internet boom and bust fiasco but ultimately he returns to his alcoholic ways and books a flight back to Bangkok.
From here it is just a short coach ride to Pattaya and a short step to suicide with a shotgun.

Author's Message

"Inspired by Robert M. Pirsig's 'Zen & the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance',
this is the book of life I should have read before leaving university in London.
It's got it all. Sex, sex tourism, drugs, alcohol, alcoholism, prostitution & suicide.

But this is more than just a sordid and tawdry account of hedonism.
My recovery (and redemption such as it is) is based on logic, philosophy
and a not entirely politically correct understanding of human nature and the human predicament.

In my search for sex and sobriety I travel from London to Amsterdam;
to San Francisco, California; to Bangkok & Pattaya in Thailand
and to Manila, Angeles City & Subic Bay in the Philippines.

I have skirted the edges of madness and suicide.
I have immersed myself in alcoholism and recreational sex.
And I have survived.
Life sucks. Don't end up a loser like me. Read this book."
