Around the world in 80 trains: A 45,000-Mile Adventure by Monisha Rajesh

A friend of mine suggested me this book. This book is something different than the other books. Monisha Rajesh actually travelled with train and shared the experience. The books i have read before on travelling are different than this one. 

I read this book just few months before. I not quiet impressed with the book. I mean i am not a big fan of such kind of book. Its just my thinking, may be others will find it more interesting.

What we think about this novel

As i want to accept that i am a trvel lover. I like to travel and visit different places, but i don't prefer train for travelling rather i like to ride bike and even with car, i feel comfortable. Now comming back to the book, yes the scenes written in book about their travel in short their travel experience is amazing. It is pleasant to our mind(if you love to travel). You will feel like your sitting besides them and experiencing everything with your naked eyes.

As i was reading this book, i felt like i should start a new journey like Monisha Rajesh obviously in train again, and i think it will change my perspective about travelling with train.

I haven't read many books by Monisha Rajesh, infact Arround the world in 80 Trains is the first novel i read which is written by Monisha Rajesh. Yes I appreciate Monisha Rajesh's writting skills. If you're looking for a book related to the travel or you want something different to read, you must go with this book by Monisha Rajesh. You will also get to know about th writter through Arround the world in 80 trains. Also this book National Geographic Award, so yes it worth of reading.
