Title: DON'T WASTE YOUR VALUABLE READING TIME--A SLEEPER
Product review: Read something better; read William Dalrymple's FROM THE HOLY MOUNTAIN, or the classic, THE BLUE NILE. These stories were amateur night at the bingo hall. There were a couple touching exceptions, one about a young woman, a cabbie, and the Taj Mahal in India--- but for the most part the stories in the book were dull, witless, and lacked excitement, adventure, and charm. They sounded like fantasies of Dilbert's travels, NO, not even that exciting. Some even sounded made-up, yes, contrived for the book. What scares me is that these were the collected "Best of" Travelers Tales....well, I might check out some of the others, but I don't think I'd buy them, just read them quick at the bookstore.
