It's had me laughing, crying, and always enthralled. Even if you're not especially interested in pheasants and just enjoy phenomenally good writing, I recommend this heartily, while if, like me, you have a love for tales of exploration and adventure in far flung corners of the globe you'll find yourself wondering why you've never read it before.
