Product Description

Product Description
In 1988, as a fresh-faced 18-year-old, Barry Ley made his first tentative foray into the cut-throat world of timeshare sales. This book chronicles his adventures around the world, ranging from humorous anecdotes of sales tactics to hair-raising tales of life as a young, inexperienced Brit abroad.

5.0 out of 5 stars A DIY Manual on How to Large it!, 9 Jan 2002
A fantastic read, couldn't put it down. Written with honesty and a brutal, yet realistic, view on the hidden world of timeshare.

Barry takes you through the highs & lows of a blaggards' journey through the timeshare industry -the side the industry didn't want you to see.

The author's partied that hard that you have to wonder how he was ever able to stop & take time to write the book!

You won't go short on humour, action or adventure with this one, I thoroughly recommend this book, ENJOY!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Thrills, chills and spills with the timeshare boys., 23 Sep 2001
By A Customer
This book takes you on a helter skelter whirlwind tour of the globe's hotspots. Follow the author's wild adventures as he fast talks his way through the seedy underworld of the timeshare boys and girls. Whether you approve or not, you'll end up with a soft spot for this blagger.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is a must have!, 10 Feb 2002
By A Customer
~Barry Ley is a timeshare tout. One of those people we all love to hate. For the first time, one of his kind has decided to lift the lid on all the crooked goings on in the industry and my god, what an enthralling read. The amazing thing is, it is impossible not to like him! He has travelled round the world living on his wits and blarney for twelve years and pulled every scam imaginable. Hilariously well written it captivated this reader from the beginning to the end. Bravo Mr Ley! I for~~ one am waiting for the next installment with baited breath!~
