Cruise Confidential 2

From Midwest Book Review: Perhaps the icon of excess, cruise ships carry many strange diversions for those with money to burn. Ship for Brains looks into…the twists and turns of politics that often occur when one lives on a ship and what can be experienced upon it. With a grand dose of humor and a good dose of memoir, Ship for Brains is a fine pick, not to be overlooked. Book of the Year, finalist—Foreword Magazine Bronze—London Book Festival Finalist—New York Book Festival Finalist—San Francisco Book Festival  Returning with his award-winning wit and delightfully candid narrative voice, Brian brings us the first and only exposé of art auctioneering on the mighty liners, where the tenet of "what happens at sea, stays at sea" has always been observed - until now. We are transported to the sea as our likable guide vividly shares his misadventures, triumphs, flirtations, and, above all, his amusing and astute insights into human nature. “The real party is going on in the crew’s quarters.”—USA Today “This is a really entertaining true tale by a guy who struggles through the bizarre world of cruise ship employment. Bruns paints a clear picture of ‘how the sausage is made’.”—San Francisco Chronicle “I couldn’t put it down.”—Chicago Sun-Times “Cruise Confidential is a juicy tell-all. The crew deals with the ‘sweat shop’ conditions by indulging in massive amounts of alcohol and sex.”—Cleveland Plain Dealer “Bruns doesn’t hold back when it comes to discussing his experience of working on cruise ships.”—Thomas Cook Magazine (United Kingdom) “Witty and self-deprecating [Bruns] has a flair for dialogue, and his book is chock full of whacky characters…”—Blogcritics Magazine “I found it absolutely hysterical!”—Peter Greenberg, Today Show
