Shave My Spider!

A Six-Month Adventure Around Borneo, Vietnam, Mongolia, China, Laos and Cambodia

By: Tony James Slater

Narrated by: Tim Campbell

From the author of the number-one best-selling travel comedy That Bear Ate My Pants!

Tony James Slater is quite possibly the world's worst traveler. And yet, he's thinking of doing it for a living....

Faced with buying a car and getting a real job - or taking the money and blowing it on a six-month adventure around Asia...well, there really is no contest!

Who wouldn't want to visit exotic places, like Borneo, Cambodia, and China? Who wouldn't want to tackle the world's most dangerous hiking path, tangle with the Vietnamese Mafia, and suffer days in the dreaded Mongolian saddle? And who wouldn't want to try five-organ soup?

All he has to do is survive long enough to realize his dreams. His rainbow-haired wife, Roo, is determined to keep him in one piece - but he's not going to make it easy. Six months around Asia will make-or-break them...literally.

Join Tony and Roo on an epic journey through the weirdest and most wonderful things the continent can offer. Share their hopes and fears as they battle the wildlife, the elements, and the laws of probability to explore six fascinating and exotic countries. Together, they will prove one of the cardinal rules of travel: that nothing ever goes according to plan. Especially when you don't have one.

Full of mischief and mayhem, this hilarious adventure is one you definitely don't want to miss. One thing's for sure; it ain't no holiday!

This is a comedy travel memoir, covering Borneo, Vietnam, Mongolia, China, Laos, and Cambodia.

Laughter inducing. Hard to stop listening!

Great writing style. Far more interesting than I anticipated. Prepare to laugh the whole way thru!

Loved these books

I’ve loved everyone of these books!!! Not to mention I couldn’t imagine actually reading these books since Tim Campbell did such an amazing job, with all the voices and animated expressions just added to the books.
Thanks for the laughs Tony Slater!!!!!!!

His ridiculous problems

Much about food, travel arrangements and accommodations. Engages mostly with outdoor activities (hiking, boating, climbing etc) and visiting ruins. Continually makes fun of the culture and people in all the countries.

Another fun adventure with great narration

This is the 5th in his series, best done in order for cohesiveness. All his books are goofy travel adventures by genuinely kind people with questionable choices mixed with good and bad luck written in a way that keeps me engaged and laughing.

I tried to like it, I really did.

There were some fun parts, but in the end the overtones of, "great white hunter, who has never met a foreigner he didn't think condicendingly of" became a little much. Unfortunate.
