Robyn Davidson decides that she is going to make a trip across the Outback with camels, in spite of the fact that she knows nothing about camel trekking.

I found the author irritating in her bad choices, whining and selfishness. Long descriptions of her depression (over her bouts of stupidity) added only to make one glad of reaching the final page.

Her knowledge of camels comes from training by 2 different social misfits. If you do not like reading about animals being abused, I would suggest passing this one by.
