Pretty good but .....

The author is without a doubt an excellent writer. However, before one buys the book, they should know that all of the stories are relatively brief essays that have appeared previously in magazines. In fact, I would say that many of the stories are from Islands magazine. As a subscriber to that magazine, I was disappointed to find that so much of Millman's previous work is repeated here. Recommended if you have not read Islands Magazine- otherwise you might want to reconsider.

Enjoyable

This is the sort of book that you can keep by your bedside and dip into when you need to read a little before sleep. Not that it is soporific, but it is doled out in little bite-sized pieces. Or read on the train on the way to work in order to enjoy an otherwise mundane trip. Or take on holidays and read on the beach.

It is not trying to be profound or make massive statements about the deeper issues of travel at every turn. It is, however, fun and interesting.
