As though I was with him
What an epic journey undertaken by the author - one which, through his extraordinary writing and photographs, I joined every step of the way. It was a real eye-opener on the numerous diverse cultures the imaginary line runs through in the tropics. I particularly enjoyed the depth of research into politics and economics as well as the insight into the cultures and peoples Mr Reeve met along the way. I really felt for the people of Africa and Australia and the effects climate change was bestowing on their lands. I'm looking forward to reading Equator next.

Both Adventurous and Educational
The story of a journalist traveling around the world in a circle, it is both an adventure into foreign countries and an historically and politically informative book. Tropic of Capricorn: A Remarkable Journey to the Forgotten Corners of the World

fascinating account of travel around the world
I thoroughly enjoyed this account of the authors travels around the world, flowing the tropic of cancer.Whether travelling across Africa from Namibia to Mozambique, across Australia or South America from Chile to Brazil, Simon Reeve is always fascinating in recounting his travels and experiences. Describing out the people he met, the beauty he saw, as well as his concerns about damage to the environment and indigenous peoples caused by our ever expending demand for resources the author is clear and candid.This all makes for fascinating and often though provoking reading

A good read
Although Simon Reeves is not quite as good an author as he is a presenter, the stories in this book are sufficiently enjoyable to provide a relaxing read, and to provide a chance to expand one's horizons.
