What disappointed you about On a Hoof and a Prayer?
I had the hard copy of this book sitting on my shelf for the past five years and was really looking forward to reading/listening to it. Having travelled to South America, I was expecting to relive some of my memories. Instead, the book was a very average travelogue that didn't really do more than account for a British woman's summer holiday abroad.
What could Polly Evan have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?
Evan's occasional attempt at humour rarely hit the mark and she took way too long before she chronicled the history of Argentina. There was nothing really remarkable in what she did, to the point where I struggled to complete the book. It wasn't engaging, it felt like I was made to sit through a slide night for someone I didn't know and didn't really care about.
What character would you cut from On a Hoof and a Prayer?
The author. It appears Evan cut the horses already - despite the title, there's a lot of travel not done on the back of a horse.
