Brazen Bloke is a spoilt little boy whoÕs brought up in a good family. Aged 16 he takes up with the wrong crowd and develops an appetite for drugs. The small-time villain leads a wild life in the rave scene for years on end, breaking the law at will, fearing neither the filth nor a screwed up future.
Aged 29 he pops Xanax for the 1st time, an extremely addictive sedative. He manages for several years not to become addicted to downers, but cos panic attacks and other headaches strike, he takes 'em more and more. Eventually, he becomes physically dependent on Xanax. He tries to quit the drug in the loony bin, but laughing academies only drive him insane. Grappling with suicidal thoughts he must ask himself, ÔWill I live to tell the tale?Õ
A World of Marvels is the heart-wrenching true story of a hedonistic bloke, a journey through madness and half a life gone wrong. Laced with irony, sarcasm and gallows humour, this is a memoir that inspires laughter, shock and much, much more.

Great travel book for kids.
Format: Paperback
This book was great, I plan to get one for any other city we visit that they have a book for. Good level info for my 8 year old but also had some fun things for my 4 year old to do. Very flexible so we could just see what we were going to see & work it into the ‘mission’. We would bust it out at our cafe/people watching stops to see what we needed to do at the next stop. The information was fun for kids and adults. You get to set points for a few things so the mission is completely attainable no matter what you do in the city AND you can set points for adventurous things your kiddos might not otherwise do... eg I got my 4 year old to try escargot!

Worth it!
Format: Paperback
Great book to help keep kids engaged and excited to tour through Paris. Recently used it on our trip with 5-8 year olds and had a blast searching for paintings in museums or various sites through the city. Had some interesting facts/history to share about the various places (although wish it had more)

Kept a 10 year old engaged
Format: Paperback
I bought this for my 10 year old for our trip to Paris. It contained some activities that kept him interested during our museum/castle trips. It even lead us to Chateau de Vincennes which we wouldn’t have found on our own! The Louvre hunt had us going all over the place (mainly because he can’t leave anything incomplete) but it helped initiate conversations about history. The only issue is that the Notre Dame challenge is sadly impossible to complete now based on the fire in April. I also wish something would be added regarding Les Invalides. If you have elementary aged kids then I would highly recommend.

Excellent addition to a trip
Format: Paperback
Just got back from Paris. My 9 year old daughter loved using this book throughout our adventures. It was light enough to carry with us each day and had a nice mix of information to read and things to look for. There were A LOT of different sites listed. In a week we still didn't get to some of them. Would definitely buy one of these books for another trip.
