A review by dutchlee
The Travels Marco Polo by Marco Polo

3.0

I really enjoyed Marco Polo. There isnt much in terms of plot but thats understandable since its meant to be a non-fiction book about the east. Some parts were quite repetitive as he goes through city by city and says how good the city was economically. This was more in the beginning and he soon got to more interesting parts where he tells stories of the cultures. I enjoyed reading about 13th century Asia. It's simply fascinating to get a picture of what life was like (although the prologue warns that some may be fictional).
I'm not sure if I would read this book again though.
