Format:Paperback
This is yet another superb offering from the excellent Summersdale stable and one that captures the true quirkiness of experiencing the world via independent travel. I bought Rainbow Diary: A Journey in the New South Africa after reading Brazil: Life Blood Soul by the same author. I wasn't disappointed as this is another fascinating, well crafted insight into one man's unique encounters with a nation ripe for discovery - in every sense of the word.

I bought this book because I was utterly appalled by the lack of insight into daily social politics given in guide books, like that of the rough guide, a so-called alternative publication. This book filled in gaps but more importantly is the commentry of an intelligent, aware and honest traveller. The book is touchingly human, no avoidance of issues but there's no preaching either. The book is not short on information, there is a great deal of humour and it's even poetic in parts.
I would definately recommend this book.

This ia a suberb book which kept me engaged from start to finish. The politics were intertwined with personal anecdotes and the style is written mostly in a light-hearted manner pretty much in the Roald Dahl way. Highly recommended!
