Summary: Humiliating
Comment: An insult to all Mongolians. In my Mongolian extensive travels I never saw Mongolians as this writer describes them. Instead I found the Mongolians to be kind, considerate and a joy to meet. This author needs to rethink his writing motives. Just to be humerous he degrades fine poeple. Not a book I would recomend.

Summary: Native Mongolian blasts truth of travel book
Comment: The more I read this book the more I feel humiliated as a Mongolian who was born in the countryside and grew up among these people. This book is too far from the truth. Of course, I admire the author's courage to travel across Mongolia by horse, but the difficulties he had while traveling and his negative attitude can not be blamed on country people with big hearts who tried to be kind and to show their warmest hospitality in every way they could. Indeed they were responsible for his survival many times. His description of people was racist and portrayed them as primitive and ugly. As a Mongolian, I am extremely offended by his views and opinions of my country and I definitely would not recommend this book as a valid picture of Mongolia and its people. However, I thought his description of the countryside and history was very accurate and complimentary.

Summary: Mongolian Dream!
Comment: I very much enjoyed this travel book! I especially like the lead-in, Stanley does not just drop into Mongolia - he leads the reader across Asia and into Mongolia through history and beautiful transitions. It is tough to believe he passed up so many female opportunities. But I am hoping he was just being British! I enjoyed his positive humorous outlook on all the people that crossed his path.
