I agree completely with David from Laramie on this one. It's really hard to get grip for whom this book was really intended. The political points are largely poorly reasoned conventional wisdoms, unquestioned and presented in a very assumptive and slightly condescending style. Many of the pop postulates contained have already passed their sell by dates. The descriptive details of the environment and cities are flimsy, often making one dusty Bad Land seem as physically uninteresting as the next. Travel details and advice do not really exist at all. The book is of little use to an advanced traveler who might be considering similar forays and looking for guidance.Bad Lands is a mostly string of personal anecdotes, which isn't a bad thing for this kind of book, however the author is so detatched from his audience that it is hard to appreciate many of those stories. The concept here is a great one, but I suspect the author sacrifices quality thought and writing for the sake of completing the list of countries covered. It completely puts me off of trying out another of his books.
I had high hopes when I first opened the book. After all, with the exception of Burma, these are places I am not likely to want to visit anytime soon. The book tries to be a little of everything, a shallow "political" background plus some description of the local people and a few places to visit, none of which done too well. What a pity, a good idea gone bad.
Wheeler has a great idea for a book, and there is no doubt that his adventures are very fascinating. However, his writing is dry and dull. It's interesting to see where he goes and what he does, but there is not as much of that as there is mounds of dry foreign political history. While some is needed, Wheeler could have held back a bit, and added some more detail of the culture, activities, and people. It's good, but it's definitely no page-turner.
This was a very easy read while still delving deeply into the politics and difficulties of the countries about which he writes.
What a great book! Tony Wheeler turns his practiced travelogue eye to some nasty countries you definitely want to think twice about visiting.
This book is inspirational and it in deed has inspired me to begin my own bad lands travel which has already began.
"Libya is one of the most comprehensively trashed countries I've ever visited." - Author Tony Wheeler in BAD LANDSCo-founder (with his wife, Maureen) of Lonely Planet Publications, Tony Wheeler here describes his travels through nine countries generally considered "bad lands" by Western societies because of their poor treatment of their own citizens, their involvement in terrorism, and the threat they pose to other countries. The nine are Afghanistan, Albania, Myanmar (Burma), Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, North Korea, and Saudi Arabia. Except for areas in Iraq which Wheeler was careful to skirt, none of the nine are particularly dangerous for the individual visitor.In the genre of travel essays, BAD LANDS is commendably out of the ordinary in that it includes a 16-page center section of color photographs. I guess if your book is being published your own publishing company, you can afford this extravagance.While reading the first chapter on Afghanistan, I thought Wheeler's writing rather stiff and I was somewhat dreading the experience of the whole. But in following chapters, he loosens up considerably and becomes a congenial and wryly humorous guide. For instance, this paragraph about Cuba:"Every other woman walking by was wearing the standard Cuban fashion statements: short, tight, low, high, stretched. Preferably in Lycra ... In Cuba no women can be too big, too wide, too round for Lycra. 'Thrusting femininity' was the two-word definition of the Cuban approach to fashion, according to one visiting travel writer ..."Published in 2007, BAD LANDS provides a roomy front window for the reader to peer out into the contemporary society of each nation visited, as well as useful rear window overlooking their recent pasts.I'd award five stars except for the last two chapters, "The Evil Meter" and "Other Bad Lands: The Extended List." In the former, Tony rates, on a scale of 1 to 10, each of the nine subject nations: 1-3 points for domestic oppression, 1-3 for support or participation in terrorism, 1-3 for international belligerency, and a bonus point for Personality Cult centered around the national leader. I didn't mind so much that Wheeler calibrated his meter with such countries as the United States, Australia, the UK, and France and found them registering on the scale, albeit at a low level. But, when he carried the concept over into the latter chapter and mentions such garden spots as Somalia, Congo/Zaire, Angola, Haiti, Papua New Guinea, Pakistan, Syria and (in his mind) the evil conjoined twins, Israel and Palestine, without making even the most rudimentary mention of an obvious twosome, resurgent Russia and China, then I began to doubt his objectivity. Perhaps he should just stay with travel writing and skip the editorializing.
Not a terrible book, but not too interesting either. I thought there would have been some more intersting tales of travels to these “badlandsâ€. Turns out there’s not a whole lot of intersring stories the author has to tell. The author does provide some pretty good historical context about why each of these areas has become what they are.
