Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents Around the World in 80 Trains written and read by Monisha Rajesh.
WINNER OF THE NATIONAL GEOGRAPHIC TRAVELLER AWARD FOR BEST TRAVEL BOOK
SHORTLISTED FOR THE STANFORD DOLMAN TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD
'Monisha Rajesh has chosen one of the best ways of seeing the world. Never too fast, never too slow, her journey does what trains do best. Getting to the heart of things. Prepare for a very fine ride' Michael Palin
From the cloud-skimming heights of Tibet’s Qinghai railway to silk-sheeted splendour on the Venice Simplon-Orient-Express, Around the World in 80 Trains is a celebration of the glory of train travel and a witty and irreverent look at the world.
Packing up her rucksack – and her fiancé, Jem – Monisha Rajesh embarks on an unforgettable adventure that takes her from London’s St Pancras station to the vast expanses of Russia and Mongolia, North Korea, Canada, Kazakhstan, and beyond. The journey is one of constant movement and mayhem, as the pair strike up friendships and swap stories with the hilarious, irksome and ultimately endearing travellers they meet on board, all while taking in some of the earth’s most breathtaking views.

Not a wonderful book, but not bad as well
Nothing thrilling or exciting for me in this book, but it occasionally had some interesting insight about the countries and people.

Fantastic for those who have the travel bug
Very enjoyable reading and wonderful for those who love train travel or travel in general. Easy to listen to, and inspires one to take more trains while travelling.

An amazing book that took me on a journey
An amazingly written travel book. Some of the journeys Monisha went on in this book I have done myself and she took me back and it gave me nostalgia with the way she describes her experiences. I found the entire book so inspiring and relatable and it made me want to explore more of the world by train. Highly recommend!!

Cursing in chapter 1 put me off
written by someone who needs to use swear words in chapter 1 does not entice me to read any further. Voice is also rather annoying. Sounds like written by some under 30 years. not for me. refund?
