The author is the quirky guy who di Supersize me in both book form and as a movie. He lived exclusively on MacDonalds Hamburgers for a longish period of time - I forget how long but possibly three or six months and recorded the experience in a book and film. From being a super healthy person he became obese and unfit etc.

This book is similarly quirky. He decides to research the whereabouts of Osama Bin Laden by announcing he is going on a search beginning in the USA. He is a New Yorker - where else? Once again he is writing a book and making a film.

As a read it gets tedious in parts but I plodded on. There is enough description of his confrontational encounters with ordinary people in Muslim countries etc to engage attention. Not gripping but worth a read
