Overall a very interesting story of someone following the path that coffee might have taken to get to modern society, full of lots of tidbits of history and trivia. The writing is a bit uneven and the author is not particularly likeable, but that can get him into some interesting scrapes in parts of the world that not too many people would dare go visit. (Does that make him brave or just stupid? I'm not really sure, but it makes for good reading.)
