I loved this book. Could hardly put it down. There were alot of pictures as well of Sorrel Wilbys travel thru Tibet. She made it all so interesting, telling about the country and the people she met along the way.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not Much, January 22, 2005
I read this book recently and the author seemed like a "princess" rich bitch trekking across Tibet on her parent's dime. She did run into some harrowing moments, but never seemed to lose her "isn't it all wonderful" attitude toward the people around her. I can well imagine the reason why the natives were so caring, she paid as she went and spoke as if the natives were naturally just so wonderful. Everyone you are giving money to is "just so wonderful" I would rather have read a book about the hard realities of these places outside the bubble of a insulated money'd post college girl
