Title: NOT a travel memoir...BEWARE!
Review: I love international travel and thought that I was buying a travel memoir that would inspire new ideas for my travels. Instead, I found this book to be frustrating, annoying, irritating, and almost unbearable to finish. I have lost all respect for Michael Crichton. During the 10% of this book that actually covered international travel expeditions, I found him to be a whiney, cry-baby. He had no backbone, complained about EVERYTHING, and found no joy in the simple things in life. He certainly didn't find the "growth" that he claimed. Beyond that, the other 90% of the book covered his strange fascination with auras, spoonbending, etc. It was just weird. Not a travel memoir by ANY means. If you seek to read this book because you've got the travel bug and are looking for inspiration...look elsewhere. This book should NOT be in the travel memoir section of the bookstore. I want my money back!!!
