Title: More enjoyable travel books are easy to find....
Product review: I received this book as a gift as I am avid reader of travel stories. Unfortunately I could only get about halfway through.The author clearly is a literary talent but I could not overcome the contrived narrative. I prefer a story where adventure is found and a book results. This one seemed to be from an author who from the onset desired to write a book and had to reach afar for adventure. For example, he constantly is complaining about the local food/customs/landscape, what did you expect to find after voluntarily going to Kiribati? I was unable to give the second half of the book a chance. I would highly recommend The Beach or The Drifters for classic travel related reading (though both are fiction).
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
