What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
A better story. A less condescending attitude towards locals from this clearly arrogant British traveler. Fewer contrived moments & situations, clearly designed to give this rather boring journey some excitement.What do you think your next listen will be?
Probably something from Ha-Joon Chang.What aspect of Michael Maloney’s performance would you have changed?
The narrator & main character of the story is rather dorkey, eager, and annoying. The actor conveyed that perfectly, as there were many moments I thought him guilty of the faults of this book.If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from In Xanadu?
None.Any additional comments?
This is a travelogue written by a white British traveler clearly unable to to blend or integrate into the Middle-Eastern and Asian cultures he crosses. The result is a very distant and superficial look at locals. If you are looking to learn how locals would behave, or what they would say, towards a white British traveler...this would be the book for you. Just don't expect any deep or meaningful insights into these societies.A young, immature, British lad's travelogue
