Book Review: Cold Beer and a Hot Dart
Cold Beer and a Hot Dart by Brandon Wolfe Genre: Memoir / Adventure ISBN: 9798882529757 Print Length: 214 pages Reviewed by J.B. Leddington A riveting travel memoir/self-help book mashup, Brandon Wolfe's Cold Beer and a…
A riveting travel memoir/self-help book mashup, Brandon Wolfe's Cold Beer and a Hot Dart is by turns amusing and dismaying, shocking and inspiring.
The narrative tracks his epic journeys around the world in search of… well, something more purposeful than a standard 9-to-5 life. It all sounds simple enough in summary—"At nineteen years old I jumped on a plane to travel the world for a few years- wandering around Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Borneo (Malaysia), and the Solomon Islands."—but the reality of his travels is far more profound, impactful, and enlightening than one might assume.
This first trip sees nineteen-year-old Wolfe travel to Australia for six months with a missionary organization, a polarizing approach for some to international travel and interaction with local cultures. Wolfe demonstrates a clear view when writing Cold Beer and a Hot Dart and doesn't shy away from the foibles of his youth, something that holds true throughout the book.
The trip changes him. When he returns, he finds it near impossible to settle back into regular life in the United States and so does another stint with the organization, seeing more of Australia and traveling to Borneo and the Solomon Islands.
