review 1: This is the first non-fiction book I have ever read. Well, of my own accord anyway. I wasn't sure if I was going to like it. I mean, traveling is awesome, but reading about someone else traveling? I had a hard time believing that it could be worth reading. Well, as it turns out I couldn't have been more pleasantly surprised. The author described her adventures in such a way that you felt like you were really there. I really enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys the genre. Also, anyone who is looking for something different to read should absolutely take a chance on this book. You won't be disappointed.
review 2: I received a copy of this book as part of a First Reads giveaway.Having been bit by the travel bug myself, I was really looking forwar... mored to diving into this book. I have to say though, that unfortunately I was a little disappointed. Now, maybe the fault is mine: I don't read tons of non-fiction, so maybe that affected by reading. I also have a young baby at home, and can no longer devote entire uninterrupted afternoons to reading in the summertime sun. However, despite all the exciting places the author visited, I was a little bored at times. There were days when I couldn't make myself read more than a few pages, and barely retained anything I read on those pages. Other times I skipped whole parts completely because I couldn't get into it. On the other hand, there were certain adventures that I raced through - such as the author's time in Nepal for instance - which is why I wonder if maybe I'm just not appreciating the author's story. In either case, I think the author was incredibly brave to leave behind all the comforts she knew to undertake this adventure, and she was courageous enough to put pen to paper and share her story with the world. less
