A musician would probably like this more. Also; its pretty outdated. These days; Bali is nothing like it was the time the book is set. I would recommend this book to a musician; especially one interested in gamelan music; otherwise it can be a bit boring for the layperson.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. A great read for a traveler to BaliBy Kindle CustomerI took this book on a recent once-in-a-lifetime trip with my fiance to Bali. I found it an enjoyable read as we traveled around the island. The wealth of insight into Balinese culture; including cuisine; music and dance; really stimulated my interest in the islands culture. Definitely think reading this book can lead the traveler to seek out experiences they may not otherwise discover. For instance; in Ubud; we stayed at the Sayan Terrace hotel overlooking the valley McPhee discusses in the book. We also saw a wonderful legong dance performance.I didnt find this book to be necessarily an enthralling read but definitely recommend for someone traveling to Bali.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. the feel of Balinese musicBy Martin WilderDescriptive of the essence of Balinese music and the people. Read before you travel to Bali while listening to the music.
