Book Reviews of The Old Patagonian Express: By Train Through the Americas

Book Review: A charming non-sense journey.
Summary: 4 Stars

If you really like travel books, you'll enjoy it, but be aware of one thing. Paul Theroux loves travelling by train: that means that he doesn't mind spending three or four days whithout getting off the train. His goal is just getting to the other end of the railway line as soon as possible. Something like a race. Quite absurd, isn't it? Neverthlesss, a very interesting book for people who love Latin America.
