I haven‘t genuinely laughed like this from a book in quite some time. Any book that has my stifling sniggers and snorts in the quiet carriage of a train gets my approval!

I really enjoyed this book. True, the writing is a little matter-if-fact at times, belying the writer‘s background in journalism, and the geopolitical views dated, but I really felt like I was riding side by side with Simon, exploring the world as I would.
