berlinbibliophile 's review for:
A Passage to Shambhala
by Jon Baird
This book was a disappointment. The idea of combining prose and comic book panels is a really good one, and it worked well here. This was my favourite part of the book. Everything else was sadly lacking. There was barely enough characterisation of many of the characters to tell them apart. It was too long and winding, I think the book would be much improved by cutting about a third of it, like the many side plots that go nowhere. And while reading I the strong feeling that the authors were using the historical setting to cram in as much racist rhetoric as they could get away with. Some passages are horrifying. Other stretches of the book are okay, but I can't look past that.
