Produktbeschreibungen
Synopsis
Neil Humphreys is back with more 'Scribbles from the Same Island'. He is not rich, doesn't own an apartment, and doesn't have many expatriate privileges, but nonetheless manages to remain the same funny bloke happily living in the small estate of Toa Payoh in Singapore. One year after his best-selling, 'Notes From An Even Smaller Island' had the whole of Singapore laughing helplessly, Neil Humphreys is still madly in love with his humble but stimulating existence on the sunny island of Singapore. So much, in fact, that he now makes a living poking gentle fun at every oddball aspect of Singaporean life. Expect to find more of his take on SPG, sex, doctors, toilets...all seemingly innocuous subjects but made hilarious through his witty observations. Romance campaigns? Public transport system? Nothing is safe from Neil's humorous scrutiny. Not even the unsuspecting creatures at the zoo, and certainly not the bawdy nightlife at Geylang.

Scriptures from a clued-in expat
18. Februar 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
This "sequel" to "Scribbles from an even smaller island" is full of expat-syndrome-writing. Ok, Mr Humphreys is an expat in Singapore, yes, but not like you and me, no. He is "special". He doesn't fit in any of the categories he has created for anyone else existing in the island. But, he seems to have found Singapore such a wonderful place that he stays writing books nobody would buy or dare to read if he lived in any other country in the World. He ignores the whole recipe to his success, which is, feeling "special" enough to write mediocrities in a country where underqualified and under-prepared foreigners like him have a go at anything feeling special and better than the other expats. Ok, being a young man (I would restrain myself to describe him as "writer") we have to allow for his over-the-top comments and exagerations, but, to what limit? The jokes wear thin once we realise this book should have been kept in a over-confident teenager's private diary. Milk the Singaporean cow while you can Neil, I am also an expat, who can blame you ?

very disappointing
22. Januar 2004
Format:Taschenbuch
I read the first book and was delighted. So I immediately rushed to get the second one when it got out. But what a let-down. Obviously, Humphreys had said everything he had to say in the first book, and so the second volume is boring, repetitive and thoroughly disappointing.
