With cover promotions from Eric Newby, Norman Lewis, Geoffrey Moorhouse and Ranulph Fiennes, I guess this was built up too much, and my expectations were too high.
But hey, it was ok, a quick and easy read, it covers a lot of ground - mostly Southern India, but a bit up north too. Roberts is a strange guy though. Almost all his travel in India was pre-planned - hotel bookings, train timetables etc... the few spontaneous decisions were highlighted as such - not the most intrepid of travellers.
