So far, I'm loving it...every bit as much as I did The Great Railway Bazaar eons ago. Fast forward to almost a year later. I never finished the book. I did love the first third or so, but then it bogged down. I got tired of the tiresome aspects of solo travel revisiting a place (well, sort of, since he couldn't actually get to some places anymore) that was good to great the first time around, but for reasons of writing or reality, had lost some of its charm. My husband, in search of reading material, picked it up and did finish it. But he's an engineer; once he starts a book, he will finish it no matter what. He rarely voices an opinion, except his love for the work--all of it--of Alexander McCall Smith. (I, too, love McCall Smith--all of it.) Unlike my husband, I will not waste my time finishing a book that doesn't keep one or another aspect of my mentality or emotions interested, and sadly, Ghost Train gave up the ghost on that about halfway through.
