Title: Un-heartfelt book about what could've been interesting travel adventures
Review: The title captured my attention. So did the summary of the book. The book, however, was a disappointment. The author and his brother sounded like they had quite an adventure traveling the world, but was unable to capture it in the book. The book was emotionless and lacked any interesting details about the travels. In the beginning, the author had a chance to make the reader sympathetic about his woes with his fiancee dumping him at the last minute and his demotion from his well-paid job. Yet, I couldn't be convinced of this as it was written almost like an article - the details were there, but with no emotions attached to it. Furthermore, his adventures were written haphazardly, almost as if he was too lazy to read through his notes (if he took any) on his travels and was just writing by memory. I couldn't picture any of the places he traveled to.
