By Mark Zolo Naughty Nomad: Not your typical backpacker story Paperback – 25 July 2012

Great story, really enjoyed his journey.

This was a really fun read about a young man and his adventure travels. In the beginning he says something about this book not being filled with descriptive prose about travel, but stories of debauchery. I enjoyed the book, but I wish he went more into depth and actually did fill the stories with descriptive prose. Mark Zolo is a fantastic writer who is easy to read. I'll buy his next book for sure. Hopefully he takes his writing seriously and sticks to fleshing out a full story rather than many short vignettes. I'd like that.But I recommend it for anyone who is into game stories and travel stories.

Great travel memoir. After watching Mark's documentary in Somalia I've been wanting to read this book for ages, and it did not disappoint. Well written, funny, and an easy read. I read the whole thing in two sitting (could not put it down). I should warn that it's definitely more of a book for men though.

I was hesitant to buy this book after reading the only review on here (clearly a hater of Zolo), so I googled "Naughty Nomad reviews" and found countless of write ups praising the book so I ordered a copy.I'm glad I did. Naughty Nomad was entralling. I literally couldn't put it down and read it in two sittings. The chapters about the Congo and Cambodia made me want to quit my job and book a flight outta here. Well written, very funny (especially the sexy bits), and I liked the picture and maps too.Well done and I can't wait for the next one!

Made me plan my next trip! Wow, think I would do it with less sex. But then always told my Gran, that I was destined to be a whore! Ended up as a dead beat nobody. Go see the world! Awesome!

An inspirational story. A real page turner and I'd recommend it to any dude I know.More men need balls like this guy. Travelling to warzones picking up chicks?My life felt very boring after it. It's nice to know that these types of adventures like this can happen in the 21st century.

One of the worst things I have ever read, truly. It appears to be a piece of self publishing by a puerile fantasist. Looks like it has not even been proof-read. Mostly plagiarism and schoolboy sex fantasies, and very badly written.The author claims on his blog that it is an Amazon bestseller. According to Amazon it isn't in the top 325,000. That may be a measure of his truthfulness. With a touch of unconscious irony the blurb says: "You couldn't make this s*** up".I began to wonder whether parts of it were a deliberate bid for the Guardian "bad sex awards". Here is a typically offensive example: allegedly, after an hour (an hour!) of entertaining a grateful girl with his foreplay he enters her "weeping little p___y". On his blog someone winds him up to a shrill defence of his confession of an illegal sex act abroad. Referring to the "weeping p___y" bit the commentator writes: "Is that 'weeping' as in a distraught child, or a suppurating scab". That's how this book makes one feel.I sent the book back, then I took a shower. Ignore the obviously fake reviews on amazon.com, if they haven't already been removed. You can easily identify the author's shoddy style. Only one of the reviews seems genuine. Guess which one.

Honestly, this was one of the most captivating, interesting and hilarious books I've ever read. I dont often call books "page-turners", but this one definitely is one of them. Countless times I would start laughing out loud at some of the hilarious passages. Some parts are sad, some happy, some inspiring. The second part - Africa- was my favorite.This is definitely a must read book for any young man in his 20s looking for an adventure and wants some insights and inspiration into a more "off-the-tourist-path" type of travel.

Mark Zolo successfully keeps the reader intrigued as he tells us his journey of debauchery and his goal to conquer the world (or at least it's female inhabitants), but his book is more than just his conquests. It's about a man who has the balls to go where his instincts and his dreams tell him to go and not society's norms. Here in the USA where most people only speak one language and don't even own a passport, this book comes as a truly refreshing read. Fortunately I was bitten by the travel bug by a young age and this book makes realise that one should push the limits as this will be the only to truly know what those limits are. Anyways this was a truly good read and inspiring in many ways.

Great travel information

Written with too much ego. Not enough self awareness.With that being said, if you're an 18 yr old virgin and enjoy living vicariously through someone else's sex life, you should get off to this.

There are a few mistakes in the book (grammatical, spelling and misuse of words); however, the majority of them will automatically be corrected in your mind if you are a native English speaker. In my opinion the mistakes I found did not take away from the story.The story itself is very enjoyable and because of the way the book is written, it is a pretty easy read. Sadly, I was left feeling like I knew the main character's friends more than the more than the main character because little of the main character's personality really came through to me. Paddy seemed to really steal the show. If you are looking for a travel related read or just considering going to some of the places mentioned, the book is worth a read. If you have been to some of the countries mentioned you may question how much of the book is fact and how much was actually embellished or details of certain situations omitted. If you approach it from the perspective like it is reality based fiction, then prior experience will not damper your ability to enjoy the story.Another reviewer mentioned Off the Rails in Phnom Penh and this book is written in pretty much the same style, which consists of wild and most likely embellished stories that are fun to read.
