review 1: This was intelligently written and worthwhile, but I found it disappointing. I enjoyed the journey around the Middle East, but I wanted more analysis, history and reflection. I would have liked more conversations with drinkers and non drinkers. The most interesting part of the book by far is the chapters on the author's life and history with alcohol, so much so that the traveling narrative was a distraction.
review 2: I received this book through a Goodreads giveaway.I couldn't get into it. At all. I will be honest, I did not finish. The writing was not engaging and was very disjointed.I was hoping to read a great explanation of differences between Eastern and Western cultures. Through the half that I read, it was mostly recollection of getting black out drun... morek and offending the locals. Disappointing at best. less
