Well read, except for one chapter. An interesting look back on the middle east in another era. Insights into British imperialism. Very well written.
Great book but I wish it had a single reader.

I love Kinglake's sarcasm and totally British sense of humor! He could make anything, even the plague, seem funny in hindsight. He was a rash young fool when he was younger, that's for sure. But what an adventure he had in the East! I wonder what his mother would have thought. I think the best reader in this book is hefyd. He just seems to communicate Kinglake's whimsical happy-go-lucky character, and plus, he has a British accent, which makes it better. All the other readers are good except for Varra Unreal, whose foreign accent is so thick she can hardly be understood. In general, I just prefer books with single readers, it gives some consistency. P.S. No idea why it's called Eothen, but I didn't read the appendix. Maybe it says in there.
