I love this book so much.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m good in a crisis, but it\u2019s not because I\u2019m not afraid. I\u2019m always afraid. I\u2019m so stressed I want to throw up. But I am good in a crisis because I am very, very good at making preparations. I try to cover every angle, to plan for every eventuality.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“(T)he minibar in my hotel room was mysteriously emptied.\u201d <\/p>\n

And the narration is wonderful as well (even if the American accent was a little odd.)<\/p>\n
