“Did the fire department come or not?” I asked myself this question at the end of page four of Spectacular in a Losing Effort. I received the answer many exciting and entertaining pages later, in which Jerry gives deep insights into his life and his thoughts. He tells the story of his life to date, starting with his travels in his early youth, his time in the military and his professional life up to the present day, with a great deal of humor, lively and vividly - at times I had the feeling that I was right in the middle of the action. In his stories, he skillfully combines his travel reports with information that can be helpful for your own travel planning, this also applies to his photo tips. You can really lose track of time when reading his adventures - at least that's how I felt. And did the fire department come? Well, read for yourself!
