2.0 out of 5 stars Adventures in Yap Mar 23 2004
By Beverley Gonfel
Format:Hardcover
This little book, written for an American audience, accurately and humorously describes many details of life on Yap, the outer islands, and the transportation in between. I heard myself laughing out loud over some of the characters and situations. I wanted to read much more, the pages turned too fast, it was too short.

5.0 out of 5 stars Some People Have Actually Heard of Yap Dec 31 2003
By Winnfred Smith
Format:Hardcover
The writer's humor of his experience on this small South Pacific island is a real treat. The island jumping in a small, local plane, the roaches taking up residence with him, his description of the rain and island lifestyle, and, well, there is much more. You'll enjoy the pictures and wish you were there. Oh, and there was the story of the betel-nut chewing, but I don't want to write about that. After reading the book, I asked a business acquaintance of mine if she had heard of Yap. She said yes. I was so surprised and amazed, I bought her lunch.

4.0 out of 5 stars "Adventures" in Paradise May 21 2001
By Paula Post - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
While many people have travelled to islands in the South Pacific, Clyman Otis has given us a window to a very different look at paradise. Living and working for several years on the remote island of Yap, Clyman somehow manages to keep his sense of humor through all the difficulties of culture shock, Pizza Hut withdrawal and learning to live and work with the Micronesians. It would be nice to hear more from Clyman. Perhaps further adventures, or what lasting impressions his time in Micronesia left on him. Fun to read, "Adventures in Yap" will alter your image of an island paradise.

4.0 out of 5 stars Adventures In Yap, A Pacific Backwater May 12 2001
By jim dunham - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
This book is a good reference for anyone considering spending any time in Micronesia. It gives a good and sometimes humorous overview of what living conditions and activities are available to anyone who choses to visit that area of the world.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book and can recommend it to anyone with an interest in what life is like in the more remote areas of our worl.

4.0 out of 5 stars Unusual Place, Unusual Man April 11 2001
By David Hayes - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Hardcover
In the past 20 years my wife and I have visted a lot of different places around the world and have lived in some of them for many years. Its easy to write home about Paris, London, Hong Kong, etc. but its difficult to put into words the essence of a people. Mr. Otis has accomplished that feat in his book that describes in words and photographs his time in the Caroline Islands on the Micronesian island of Yap. Anyone who has traveled and/or lived overseas must add this wonderful book to their collection
