Simon Winchester, here narrating his own Pan-American paean, comes across as the British version of Dos Equis' World's Most Interesting Man. Fair play to him, he is both incredibly well-traveled and erudite, but I find some of his anecdotes get in the way of the history he's trying to convey rather than enhancing it. I found the epilogue particularly pointless, for example. Good listening on the whole, though.
