This is another 5* book by Alastair Humphreys... great work!

As Alastair notes, this is not a linear book of his travels across India but the experimental approach is refreshing and made continuous page turning through the book easy and pleasurable.

Over the years I have read, and greatly enjoyed, a lot of books about adventure. They often fuel my imagination and power my dreams for weeks after they have been read. I'm not sure if it is because I share similar beliefs, or perhaps just a similar age, with Alastair but I find a certain extra spark in his books that I have not discovered elsewhere in those other stories. His books don't just inspire my imagination, his books make me think I could actually get out there and do it myself. He doesn't make me think about doing something... I find myself planning it!

If I have to provide one gripe? It was too short! ;-) I am going to check out the photo book now and paste my review onto Amazon!
