    Humorous Travelogue into Jungle of Borneo
  

*by W***H on Reviewed in the United States on March 27, 2006*

This twenty-five year old tale of two Brits being transported by their faithful guides into the deepest jungle of Borneo is amusing and interesting.Redmond O'Hanlon and the smoking (as in smoking) James Fenton (improbably) the Queen's Poet Laureate embark on a journey to discover the highest mountain of Borneo and hopefully the white Rhino, possibly an island dweller and certainly unseen in decades.O'Hanlon takes a whimsical approach to this travelogue.  The stars are his faithful tribal guides and the locals he meets as he journeys up river and away from modern life.  Particularly enjoyable are the village stops where he and his crew are (usually) met with feasts, libations, dance and the occasional memory from the local chieftain's female relatives.  The clash of cultures provides many funny moments without slipping into condescation.Although there is a lot of discussion of birds and waxing about the various properties of rushes, finches, yellow-bellied-sap-suckers and the like, the book is informative and interesting with the occasional chuckle thrown in.  Altogether an enjoyable arm chair trip.

O'Hanlon is a nature writer, an avid birder, and a very droll fellow. This is his first book and I put off reading it for a long time because i'm not really interested in Indonesia. I first read his Amazon book and while the first few chapters were rough going the rest was fantastic and I reread it often. His adventures in the North Atlantic also merit a look.  I'm a real fan. Last summer I gave it my brother-in-law to read on the plane back to England; I was amazed he had not heard of him. It would be like not knowing who Stephen J Gould was in America since they both were regular contributors to well known environmental rags. Anyway since he was both an avid birder and worked in Indonesia for three years he also quickly became a fan.I'm sure you will too.

    Would I or would I not travel with these two?
  

*by K***H on Reviewed in the United States on April 25, 2006*

Yes and no.  Yes, because these two old British stuffies set off on this journey just the way most "inexperienced" travelers would -- by the seat of their pants.  No, because I think I would like a better idea of cuisine before I went.This charming narrative of two British amatuer travelers inspires humor and awe.  Of course they get into all sorts of problems and handle them with dry wit.  But they also give stunning and lyrical descriptions of the people and the places they visited.This was a living travel adventure without a tour-guide in sight.Best of all, our intrepid souls showed respect and genuine affection for the native peoples they met.  I didn't see any bigotry in this book -- except that which they found in themselves and discarded with ease.Readers should be warned that many of the descriptions of the cultures they visited are very vivid and weak stomachs may not enjoy the unflintching pictures the story evokes.
