Title: Oh, how disappointing.
Review: The author, to his credit, did not assume the arrogant posture of many expats/travelers abroad, and then didn't feel compelled to make up tales designed to make himself sound more interesting. That sole fact makes the book novel in itself.I still do not know why Mr. Kertscher made his trip. There is something to be said for "making it up as you go along," but armed with sheer dumb luck and the kindness of strangers (who have no doubt seen this aimlessness before), Mr. Kertscer managed to come back and (unfortunately) write about it. He tells us virtually nothing about the political situations, history, etc. - things that would add color to his one-dimensional tale - and despite all the picturesque ground he covered, the only vaguely interesting photo is the one on the cover. Give it an A for marketing, D- for content. Next time, Mr. Kertscher, take a canned safari along with all the other tourists. Please.
