I don't know, I guess I must be a different kind of traveller. I like to visit places that are astonishing yet not highly visited. I'm the kind of traveller that goes to those "best-kept secret" desinations to see things that most people don't...

I started this book on Saturday evening and finished it Sunday night. A great summer read that I truly enjoyed and I found to be very well written. While it focuses on Roosevelt's journey, the information on other people, animals, plants and...

I was disappointed in River of Doubt, anticipating a gripping tale about both Teddy Roosevelt and what was then the unexplored Amazon River region. Roosevelt never really emerges as a person. Even more annoying, the description of the flora and...

This is an exciting though flawed historical adventure yarn. The story of Teddy Roosevelt's journey down an unexplored and darkly dangerous branch of the Amazon makes for easy and fascinating reading. The entire voyage as well as the extraordinary...

Contains some good ideas -- most of them related to how and what to pack. Unfortunately the majority of the tips are rather specific (e.g. how to save some money when in a specific town) and don't really seem fitting for a book with general...

I just received my book and as many reviews state, yes it has wonderful pictures but as far as detail for a travel book, not something that you would want to use as a referance book. It's better for the coffee table than for anything else. I would...

I picked up this book hoping to discover a Southern odyssey of a sort but instead became very disappointed very soon.
The book promised to take us to every holler and corner of Southern 'unreconstructed,' society. However, the author...
