 Excellent Read June 13, 2008
I read this book in January when the weather was poor and rattling against the window and there was not much to look forward too - it fair cheered me up - I could not put it down. It is well written, easy to relate to and easy to read. I found myself laughing out loud at parts and found it so entertaining I bought a copy for 3 of my friends. I have read several of his books since but nothing hits the mark like this one. Read it and enjoy!!
 OK, nothing special May 18, 2008
Amusing in places for sure, I'm not qute sure what age group this book is aimed at. If I'd read it aged 17-20 I'm sure it would have had me in stitches, but lets not forget that the author was only in his early twenties when he wrote this - making quite an ironic title for the book really.
Its good, but, probably best as a throwaway read on, holiday (sorry travelling) perhaps?
 When in India... October 27, 2007
I read this whilst backpacking in India and it did help kill the boredom on some long sweaty train journeys. But that's about all it's good for. Think 'Hale and Pace' trying to do Michael Palin. Exactly.
Great September 28, 2007
Very very funny and insightful look at the world of young backpackers in India.Whether you have travelled there or not its well worth a read and makes for a great present.
 Extremely amusing March 21, 2007
I spent a significant amount of time laughing my way through this book. It was really, really funny. The main character was not particularly likeable (a bit of a prat really) but I felt a certain degree of admiration for him for his candid (and I suppose 'uncool') reactions to his first taste of travel outside of Europe. I loved the way he said whatever popped into his head, even though this resulted in distain from his fellow travellers; it certainly made for plenty of laughs from me.
As an older reader, this book satirically encapsulated the perception of student travel. After three months of travelling around India you got the impression that whilst Dave vaguely learnt something new about himself he certainly came back knowing only marginally more about India than when he left England. A light-hearted, funny, if not shallow tale.
