In Ghost Train to the Eastern Star, Paul Theroux retraces the steps he took thirty years ago in his classic The Great Railway Bazaar. From the Eurostar in London, he once again sets out on a journey to the East, travelling overland through Eastern Europe, India and Asia. Infused with the changes that have shaped the exterior landscape and enriched with developments to his own perceptions and psychology, Ghost Train to the Eastern Star is an absorbing and beautifully written follow-up to The Great Railway Bazaar.

Paul Theroux's latest collection of essays leads the listener through a dazzling array of sights, characters, and experiences. Travel essays take us to Ecuador, Zimbabwe, and Hawaii, to name a few.

disappointing considering it was Paul Theroux!
What did you like best about Sunrise with Seamonsters,Pt.1? What did you like least?
There was one chapter about situations in Africa that was written so clearly, I thought I was back there reliving it but most chapters assumed the reader knew more than, at least, I did and therefore, could not hold my interest.
What could Paul Theroux have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Set the stage better for each chapter
Did the narration match the pace of the story?
The narrator didn't have a great deal of substance to use voice inflections and it was mostly reading the yellow pages.
If this book were a movie would you go see it?
It couldn't be... no plot
Any additional comments?
Kingdom By The Sea is wonderfully written and narrated. P.T., in other books,. should not assume his audience knows more than they do. More like this!
