The Beat is an incredibly up to date and cool magazine that contains well-researched and valid information on what is trending in Bali and Jakarta. The Beat magazine was my favourite reading material while I lived in Bali. I would pick up a copy of The Beat every month and then scrutinise its pages to find out what was happening in and around Bali's nightlife scene.
I was very excited and a little nervous when I learned The Beat wanted to review Bali Raw and interview me. I needn't have been concerned. The Bali Raw review was well written and the interview turned out great.
Here's a little bit from the Bali Raw book review:
"There are some humorous episodes but generally the undertone is built on raw machismo in a Les Norton way more than raw fact, which is perfect for a young lad like my [17 year old] son ready to lap up the heroics of a cool minded and a little arrogant central figure, but lacking on details of the real underbelly of this town. It's a fun book though and easy to read from cover to cover. It's a Boys Own kind of action novel with many insights to the Kuta backstreet world of bars, expats and the ladies and men of the night."
