But despite these calamaties, our un-hero's sense of humor is undiminished.In other moments the writer's skill as a wordsmith enables him to evoke emotion and mood and his descriptive passages allow the reader to accompany him on the restless ocean, into dark jungles and thick forests.ARE YOU LAUGHING AT ME?Yes, John, we are!
