Publisher's Summary
For 650 days Sean Turnell was held in Myanmar's terrifying Insein Prison on the trumped-up charge of being a spy. In An Unlikely Prisoner he recounts how an impossibly cheerful professor of economics, whose idea of an uncomfortable confrontation was having to tell a student that their essay was 'not really that good', ended up in one of the most notorious prisons in South-East Asia. And how he not only survived his lengthy incarceration, but left with his sense of humour intact, his spirit unbroken and love in his heart.

Noble story with high expectations
I was certain the subject matter was going to be worth listening to. I tried three or four times to re-engage with this book but could not reach the end. Sean’s story is important to be told but someone else should have told it and narrated it. Disappointed.
