Title: More food please.
Review: This book was pretty good, and it read really fast. I would have liked a little more detail about some of the places. It was very hard to get a feel for the time element in Jenkins' trip. Also, it seemed like a lot of China was left out. I know Jenkins set out to see the "real China," but it seemed as though much of it was unaccounted for. Then again, I guess the book is called "across" and not "all around." I thought that he did a good job conveying the impact of the cultural revolution, but, overall I was left a little cold by the way the whole book seemed to hurry me back to America. Read this to get you acquainted with places and ideas, then read "7 Years in Tibet" and "The Snow Leopard" to really teach you something.
