Customer Reviews

The best of the best on the 60s in Southeast Asia.

"Page After Page" may well be the best memoir yet written by the war correspondents and photographers who reported from Southeast Asia, and is certainly by far the most humorous. I have never been able to decide whether Tim Page's most remarkable skill was capturing a scene in a photograph or in words. This memoir takes the reader through Page's accident-prone childhood, his misadventures in his travels through Burma, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia, on to the war in Vietnam. Not a bad life for a guy who once hustled "Ever Retty" flashlight bulbs out of a canal boat in Thailand! Page's loyalty to his deceased colleagues is revealed in his accounts of his "high times" with Sean Flynn and Dana Stone and others who all either lost their lives or their hearts in Southeast Asia... the list goes on and on, page after page.

Which is better the Movie or the Book

I must admit that I did not read the book, but recently I saw the movie "Frankie's House" which was made by Australian TV and I think it is one of the best movies I ever saw, only ..... I missed the last 15 minutes on the tape. The story is real, the people are real and the character Tim Page did not get out of my mind for days. To forget the risks while making the pictures, not to loose human feelings, still to care, congratulations Tim James, I hope that I ever will have the possibility to get the book or the video
