"My dad suggested this to me when I was about 12 or 13. I was absolutely captivated by Mr. Halliburtons' adventures (like swimming the locks of the Panama Canal - since everything goes through the locks based on weight I think he had to pay all of a quarter or less.)"
"This is an interesting book, even though some of the wonders of the world Sir Halliburton went in search of are long gone or well-known today. When he went on this journey, traveling was not as easy as it was today. His writing portrays that derring-do of so many of his fellow countrymen as he goes in search of the ancient wonders of the world, and he doesn't disappoint."
"The first time I saw this book was in third grade, in my school library, on a lower shelf on a particular set, near a window into the hallway. I was supposed to be testing for a spelling bee, but the cover kept drawing my attention, so I pulled it out. I was never very interested in spelling.
I might have made this trip around the world some 50 years after Halliburton did, but I didn't care. I wandered hand in hand with the adventurer over the Golden Gate, through the Panama Canal, up the narrow paths of St. Michel. Halliburton had the right voice for me, the right regard, just the right mix of gentle respect and simplification.
I remember when I persuaded my mother to buy me a copy. I still have it -- beaten and a little worn, loose in the binding, with the dust jacket long gone, but I can open that cover and look at those glorious black and white pictures, and slip back in time and space."
