Özet
 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.

You don’t have to like the author but it helps. This book tells of a journey overland, the only way to travel across Asia and back. It is inspirational and entertaining

Great travel writing

Overall great, nice way of describing things, interesting encounters. Occasionally condescending and grouchy. Ridiculous description of Tokyo as being awful and the future of all cities (it's so Japanese in its attention to detail and many more things), but redeemed by other features such as chatting with Haruki Murakami . my favourite use for this book is in the mornings when I can't get back to sleep the narrator's soporific voice works wonders.

Theroux is great + also annoying but helps w sleep

Peppered with fascinating insights & drizzled with Therouxisms, this is a delight. Excellent voice artist & accents add a wonderful aura.

Reflective Theroux

A wonderful travelog, especially to a train lover. Who needs pictures when words are used so comprehensively. Only the smell is missing.

In a big fan an Paul Theroux books generally but this is one of the best.

It is also simply one of the best books I have ever read (or had read to me...! ).

I haven't got to the end yet but it just gets better and better. Really interesting and insightful glance into a range of cultures, all in Theroux's slightly oblique style.

One of the best...
