A review by melcat
The Travels by Marco Polo
2.0
On an fascinating subject, the narrative of Marco Polo's book is unfortunately extremely dry and repetitive. It mainly consists of a list of all the different countries and regions that he has been to, with a few facts added here and there.
I saw in a review from a Goodreads member named David (unfortunately not active anymore, I really hope you're ok buddy) that "much of the book reads like a seven-hundred-year-old Lonely Planet guide ». While I find this sentence hilarious, that doesn't make it less true.
I wouldn’t really recommend it unless you're a collector of this edition (as I am) or particularly interested in travel stories/ geography listing. I’m very strict on reading every book I buy/keep, so the Audiobook kept me company on a few car trips. It really felt like a dream.
