Review of 'Old Patagonian Express' on 'Goodreads'
5 stars
This was a good book, though a little unnecessarily snarky at other travel writers. He's good at bring characters to life, and you get to meet a bunch of them - most, though certainly not all, fellow Americans on the journey: Thornberry especially.
It's a little knowingly contrived, and perhaps that's the disappointment about this book - he's travelling to write a book, not travelling for the fun of it. That said, it's a good and fun read.
