I don't think Polly Evans should have gone to China as she seems to have done nothing but moan about the place for the first seven chapters! I cringed at her superciliousness towards the Chinese people and am spurred on to find a better account of a journey round China rather than finish this one.
Lifted from the bookbox. Thanks
Journal Entry 5 by lellie from Trimley St Mary, Suffolk United Kingdom on Saturday, October 13, 2007
Mmm, not keen on this one. I largely agree with previous reader, I hate travel books that are all whines and whinges. I also found this a tad condescending, which is unforgivable when you are a guest in a country. I'm taking this to the Ipswich meet-up at Caffe Nero.
I bought this book in a charity shop in England. When I came home, I noticed the Bookcrossing number on the inside.
