Title: Loved the title, disliked the book
Review: I wanted to love this book. Unfortunately, Gelman has not learned the art of telling a story without giving her judgements on it. I wish she had given the reader some credit to be able to distinguish what characters are sincere and which ones aren't. Instead, she tells us her opinions of these people, leaving the reader no room for interpretation. I felt preached to. With every passing page, I felt more and more resentment toward her style of writing that proclaimed how her choices, her travel style and her friends were far superior to anyone else's.There are many other travel books that do a much better job of allowing the reader to feel a part of the story. Choose one with, perhaps not as good a title, but with better writing.
