![]() ![]() It didn't ruin the book for me but it is jarring. This is a witty and endearing account of low budget travel (something which does not appeal to me but which I do enjoy hearing about other people doing) in Asia.My only minor quibble is that the otherwise excellent narrator appears to have a limited vocabulary and whenever he encounters an unfamiliar word (not a foreign one, an English one) he makes a total hash of the pronunciation. So, I very much loved Eastern Horizons and standing in the shoes, metaphorically speaking, of another as they did just that. I am particularly fascinated by Afghanistan and would love to visit the country if it weren't highly likely that they would shoot me on sight. And yet, it still gives me a thrill to read (listen to) travel literature. Then read on a sun-lounger, between dozes.
