I can't agree. I found the excerpt on the books website misleading. Most of the 
book is more about Chris' inner journey than about the trip. And while I liked 
his trip notes, there was too much of the other stuff in between to keep me 
going.

I'm not saying that it isn't a good book. Just don't get it if you are looking 
for a trip report.

Regards
Ferdinand
