5.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating, informative and fun., 2 April 2003
By mmc (Jersey) - See all my reviews
Michael Buckley is one of the top authorities on Tibetan travel - having written the current edition of the Bradt Tibet guide and a previous edition of the Lonely Planet Tibet guide - so you would expect this book to be informative. But it goes beyond that. Buckley has a great sense of humour and you soon find yourself chuckling away every few pages which is a precious rarity in a book on Tibet. An extra bonus is that this book does not just cover the current political area of Tibet but the much larger geographical area, so you get great stories too on Mustang, Bhutan and the surrounding states.

Definitely worth getting if you are thinking of going anywhere near Tibet or if you just want to expand your knowledge of the region and have fun at the same time. Add it to your list. You'll enjoy it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Travel with a Tibetan Expert, 29 Dec 2002
By I. Losada "Isabel Losada" (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Can you imagine the privilege of travelling with a companion who has been visiting Tibet for ten years - when you are visiting for the first time? This book contains all Buckley's best adventures over those years, a wealth of readable information on all that he sees, and his very well informed observation and explanation. At times he made me laugh out loud (I loved his section on 'how to engage the Chinese in Tibet in a conversation about the Dalai Lama: 'Why is it that a billion Chinese are afraid of one man?' 'We are not afraid of him!' 'Then why won't you talk about him?' Brilliant!) And he constantly worked the magic of a travel writer and had me wondering when I could pack. This book should become compulsory reading before any visit to Tibet, or Dharamsala, ir Ladakh, or the Himalayas or Mongolia or Bhutan and if, like me you missed Heartlands before you went, then read it on your return. If only everyone who went to Tibet knew as much as this then maybe the Chinese Government would have to give Tibet back to the Tibetans...

5.0 out of 5 stars Very readable and entertaining, 12 Mar 2003
By John (London, Great Britain) - See all my reviews
Heartlands is a very entertaining read for anyone who has visited or is considering going to visit the Tibetan world or for anyone interested in the geography, religion and culture of the area. It’s casts a wry glance over the travelling community providing some eccentric characters along the way and provides useful insights into the political situation facing Tibet. Highly recommended.
