Yes definitely. I read the book but took it really as a lightweight book about a guy on his holidays. I think the only reason it got anywhere is the alluring (for some) title.Anyone else have a grudge against the way Kava is portrayed in "Getting Stoned With Savages?" I think the author makes it sound way more powerful (in a bad way) than it really is.
Not as bad as Pamela Stevensons book on travelling the Pacific "Treasure Islands" though - that was just terrible. I only kept reading till the end to see if it could possibly get any worse, and it did, right up to when she describes herself cavorting with "natives" in the mountains of Nuku Hiva, when she is actually just speaking to a tour guide from a 5 star resort..
