Review: I truly laughed out loud at the clever, dry wit with which this tale is skillfully told. The author's insightful observations and well crafted narrative were a real joy to read. I confidently recommend it to anyone who appreciates the idiosyncracies of culture and travel or who is a fan of a well-turned phrase. It will make you want to go in search of your own adventures.

Review: If Elvis were alive today he would write a song about Ms Hoilman's way with words. Can't wait for the next installment.

Review: Thankfully bereft of the artificially upbeat gloss of travel guides, Marta Hoilman breezily presents a three dimensional portrait of expatriate life in Jakarta. Hoilman's Adventures flash rapier wit, lending humor and life to the privations and improvisations that life in Indonesia invoked. From indomitable roaches to glorious side trips, Hoilman briskly shares her adventures. If you want the "inside baseball" on expatriate life in Jakarta, then you have found a must read.
