Many good tips, aligns with having more awareness in general, but also specifically with a part of human life that many have been conditioned to fear or be ashamed of. This book can help understand and overcome those feelings and discover a side of yourself that should not be surpressed.

I found this book interesting. Not only the description and details of the voyage, but the way the author pulled together journals and anthropology stories and accounts into a cohesive tale. The opinions and estimations seemed fair and not overly far fetched.

I enjoyed this book as much as the first two in the series. As it's based even further in the future than the other books, some parts are even more far fetched from today's knowledge but I still found it a fun story which balanced themes of society, physics, the vastness of the universe, as well as the potential weight of responsibility.

While at times the main character made the story progress slowly, I enjoyed the story. I like the insight into life in Iran, learning about how some individuals reacted to political changes, and how long it been especially difficult for women in Iran. I also enjoyed all of the food references, and would glaldy try almost everything in the book. Though I've had my fill of Canada Dry. :)

I enjoyed this. It was short and well written, and is especially appealing for anyone familiar with Switzerland. The emotional swings between the author and his mother are entertaining.
