Reviews



“Javins redefines the idea of being busy, and always has, from her days working both a day and night job at Marvel editing and coloring, to placing herself at the heart of new experiences through travel, but it’s a lucky thing she was willing to take on the adaptation of IRON MAN: EXTREMIS to craft a new story, essentially, and one that adds substantially to Iron Man mythology.”—The Beat, May 2013


“The subtitle says it all: also known as One Woman’s Solo Misadventures Across Africa, this rollicking tale of travel mistakes made many writers’ must-read lists and gained a cult following for the author’s humorous blog.”—SAS’ Scanorama, May 2007


“Almost feels like being out there, on the road, trying to deal with the daily logistics of travel, and the days when a tidy bathroom, clean sheets and a good mosquito net are the only requirements for extreme happiness.” —WorldHum.com


“By traveling close to the ground she reveals insight about cultural sensitivities and tales of the dangerous realities of life throughout the African nations she visited.” —WrittenRoad.com
