James Allen’s Reviews > The Open Road: The Global Journey of the Fourteenth Dalai Lama > Status Update

I'm one-third through The Open Road. At this point it seems to be at least as, probably more, insightful about Pico Iyer as about the Dalai Lama. One-third of what I've read is the author trying to sound smart and ends up sounding like the journalist trying to sound smart.
