I read most of Willard Prices adventure books as a child, but Cannibal Adventure was not one of these. I was very happy to find the book in 2003, but unfortunately I found it to be rather derogatory and insulting towards the people of PNG. I happened to be living in PNG at the time and found myself rather embarrassed to be reading it.
I know attitudes at the time of writing were rather different to those of today, but I still wish Willard Price had taken the time to understand the people he was writing about.
