Quite boring
It is just a recitation of Towns and villages that were visited describing for each, their export, and worship. It was like listening to a recitation of a store inventory.
Entire absence of context describing how he felt, smelt, hardship, description of the travel to and from etc.
The most lacking fact was that all towns and cities were described only by its ancient appelation making it impossible for a listener to immediately know where he was talking about. Since i listen to this on my driv8ng commute this was impossible.

Boring
What would have made The Travels of Marco Polo better?
If you have watched the film then prepare yourself for a disappointment. The content is boring which is matched by the robotic voice of the reader.
What will your next listen be?
Something by Charles Dickens

Completely Ruined!
This should have been a fascinting listen, however it was completely ruined by the boring american monotone used by the narrator - a voice which would be more suited to the educational cartoons of the 60s and 70s! I gave up.
