Query: Peissel -Tibetian authority, terrible writer.

Just about the only redeeming thing about this book is that it deals with Tibet. Peissel is a complete bore through most of the text. He spends way too much time bitching and moaning about how he wished he was a true Victorian explorer and hardly discribes the scenary or the people he encounters. He spends over 200 pages whinning about his lot in life, intertwined with his trip to the head waters of the river, then in only 12 pages he recounts a later trip to Tibet to study native horses. It's sad to say but I much preferred the 12 pages to the 200.
