- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Epic, sprawling and entertaining journey across Asia and the Far East. Interesting accounts of a pre Islamic Revolution Afghanistan and Iran. Always a great narration from Mueller. One of the masters.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Well read but most Asian place names are pronounced incorrectly.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5This book has been a favorite for me for years, but reader was like an actor and added a huge amount of atmosphere and humor to it. Awesome.
