Babylon by Bus: Or true story of two friends who gave up valuable franchise selling T-shirts to find meaning & adventure in Iraq where they became employed by the Occupation... Audiobook

" Amusing book showing the disaster that is the Iraq War from the perspective of two young dudes who thought, "why not", and went to Iraq. Even they were surprised at the disorganization and chaos they stepped into. Funny, quick read. "

" Super readable, and kind of eye opening, how seat-of-the-pants this 'aid' program was. I'm not a super political guy, but this book was enlightening. "

" Great civilian account of Iraq in 2004. "

" Really loved the perspective of two guys, kind of like me, throwing themselves into the middle of this war situation we've created for ourselves. Loved the references to the globe's over done backpacker scenes. "

" This was a great view of the Iraq conflict from average guys from Boston. They sometimes seem self-centered and druggies at times. But the book tells a story that is interesting, funny, heart-wrenching, and makes you want to cringe at times. I enjoyed it. "

" I tried. I really did. And I wanted to like it. But I couldn't get into it, and other people were on hold for it, so I let it go. I read about 60% of it. "

" Incredible memoir. Brutally real. An interesting and unique take on the CPA's attempt to rebuild Iraq. Not as political as I expected (Thank God). Just the facts as the writers saw them. A book about two, incredibly brave, fuck ups, who have no problem admitting the latter. "

" Definitely not the most eloquent book I've ever read, but the two main characters are pretty colorful, and it was fascinating to get a bird's eye view from two regular guys about their time in Iraq as the situation devolved into civil war and past the point of no return. "
