"I hope travel in Latin America has improved since Theroux's journey. Compared to Stephen Maturin's delight in new places, this traveler needs a better pretext for traveling than just to say he did it."
"This book was written in 1979 so conditions in South America may have improved. The excellent writing described many poor and desolate places. Read the book, don't go there."
"I can't finish this one... his trip seems completely pointless and every page says more of the same. It's exhausting reading it and the only reason I pushed through was because I was stuck in an airport waiting for my plane to take off. I have about 100 pages left but will most likely never finish it."
