Angelina Jolie's 'Notes From My Travels' isn't about her vacations! It tells about trips to the refuge camps in Cambodia, Ecuador, Sierra Leone, Tanzania & Pakistan. I found it a real eye-opener. Some readers picked at it as she is not a smooth or sophisticated writer. It's pretty much her journal and on one page she'll tell you how much the heat and flies bothered her, another how she got acquainted with UN workers, and another how horrible some refuge child's scars & wounds were. It feels like you're there with a friend and I highly recommend it. Not the kind of book you exactly 'enjoy' but you understand how personal her project of helping refuges has become to her. I particularly liked the way she noted how people in these camps retain their humanity and treat one another with respect for the most part though living in conditions we would consider unbearable.
