Title: Good but not as good as City of Djinns
Review: If you've read his other books like City of Djinns or the White Mughuls, then reading this book won't feel as good as those. But it surely is a remarkable journey told in a very lively, British style. And British style of travel writing generally includes certain jokes thrown at one's own expense. Mr. Williams, surely the finest writer of travel genre of our times, can twist sentences and pass on information very easily.Mr. Williams is travelling through Silk Route and retells his story alongwith snippets of historical bits where required. His girl friend is also travelling which means he has a remark or two on or for her. But he travels and describes the places he visits and the atmosphere and the people and their food.It is not a scholarly book by any standards but he gets his facts right.
