It read like it was written during the time of Mock's incredible journey around the world, with no shame in declaring Mock's favorite game as a child "Cowboys and Indians" and *marveling* at how women in certain parts of the world had to wear veils with tiny slits for their eyes all the time. It was really jarring and painful at times, given what an incredible story was at hand here. The writing is pretty unforgivable.

Joe The exoticism is damn embarrassing, and the writing is truly excruciating: so much telling. Never mind the horrible editing. So many errors.
