The essence of a travelogue lies not just in the places of interest seen, but also in the interesting observations made during the journeys; and in this context the book by Paul Theroux is a benchmark!! but it would have been better had the author not been so scornful of everything and everyone he came across... a positive outlook towards people we meet can cheer up even the worst of journeys and this is something the author scores low upon!! but overall it is a good read for anyone who loves to explore new places!!!!(less)
