Thanks to Chris Christensen and Josh Allen for this review, just up last night on the fine blog Amateur Traveler.
-A blunt, dare I say: “Guide Book” into the reality of “Adventure Travel”.
If you love stories about tropical beaches, amusement parks or milky white sandy beaches; then this isn’t the book for you.
Bill Murray takes a collection of his fifteen most memorable trips and opens your eyes to the frequently good, bad, and of course, ugly parts. You’ll find stories which make you ask “Why the heck did he go there?” Only to find out he might have asked himself that once he was there as well. From a hacking woman in a broken down “guide vehicle” in Tibet to an arduous train ride through endless birch forests along the Trans-Siberian Railway, this book is a wonderful insight into the world of “Traveling off the Beaten Path, Road, Waterway, or Train Track”.
I would recommend this to anyone, especially if you’ve never been to these places. It will certainly spark your interest and for most, will add to the places on your list of “places to see.”
Josh Allen
