"i love this book, it would be one of the reasons that i went to india, except that i read it after i went to india, but things could have easily happened the other way around."
"I was disappointed in this author. This book chronicles a trip down the Ganges in the mid 1960's. And, as Newby's trip was slow, this book is slow. I did not get from this book the colors and the life that I experinced in my travels in India. While the author makes a lot of the sights and sounds and smells, he does it in a way that feels like a complaint, not a description of wonder. He does not get it, India. Maybe it is his British heratige that clouds his perspective because I feel he has a different attitude in his book "A small place in Italy." Anyway, I loaned the book to a person who is embarking on a cruise down the Ganges, one who has never been to India before. Thinking back, I would rather him read "holy cow" the best India travelogue I have read to date."
