Negative Positive
Title: A nice read, though a bit too shallow and wandering
Review: Although some parts are of great interest, I was surprised at how much time the writer uses getting a hotel or waiting in customs. I bought the book hoping to get a brief review of some remote corners of the world, and to some extent I did, but too many chapters seemed to be about dirty toilets in Uzbekistan. Some chapters, such as Iran, were very informative though too many others lack focus. Every now and then I buy a book (sight-unseen of course) from amazon.com that I know I would have never bought if I could have leafed through it in a store. This was one.
Is the review positive or negative?
