- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Explorer's stories can't fail to be interesting, and these are no exception. Each excerpt is read by a different reader, and most are good. The music between each piece is quite unnecessary, I find, and would have preferred silence.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A nice and varied compilation. My particular favorites were included and if you enjoy a good dose of humor with your adventure, you’ll like them too. Nothing beats Tim Cahill on a rant about the annoying peculiarities of his travel mates or local passport authorities. I did feel some of the older inclusions were less than riveting but to each his own.
