review 1: I loved this book. It is an excellent travel book (with history and culture) about an older nomadic way of life. Tim Cope decides to travel the trail of Genghis Khan on horseback, a journey that today sounds like a crazy dangerous idea but was once the path of the largest empire in the world. His modern journey covers thousands of miles and took 3 years. If you loved travel books, finding-yourself books, or books about Central Asia I would recommend this one for you.
review 2: Terrific read. Idea of trip by horseback from Mongolia to Hungary seems insane to this reader, but I found myself caught up with the author's youthful enthusiasm. Part memoir, part political commentary, part travelogue, part ethnic research, it is very wide ranging. The author reveals a... more good deal about himself during the journey, which I liked. Great descriptive passages about the landscapes he went through. Marvelous writing about his horses and dog. Book is quite timely also, particularly when he describes the Crimea. I would have rated it higher, but author has annoying tendency to refer to his girl friends, and that was pretty much irrelevant to the narrative. In some ways he formed better relationships with the animals than with people. Maybe that isn't so bad. less
