"This
is a fantastic book - it's written in an easy to read style, as if the
writers were chatting to you over a pint in the pub.
The story is a amazing one, covering many many miles, but the thing
I loved most was the vivid, interesting descriptions of the things they
saw and the people they met along the way. It made it much more addictive
than a tale of pure physical slog. It also covers the questions everyone
wonders about but never normally get anwered - how much did it cost,
how could they afford a year off, how did they plan, didn't they ever
fall out, what about their lives back home?
What better review can I give than that his book alone has inspired
me to escape from the rat race and cycle around New Zealand for 6 months!"

"This
book is tremendously enjoyable and inspirational. I have read a fair
few travel/adventure type auto biographies and with many of them after
the initial excitement of beginning the trip the writing deteriorates
into a boring descripition that just reads basically like an itinerary.
Not so this one.
Plenty of
humour, excellent descriptions, so good you actually feel you are right
there along side the guys most of the time.
The only
thing is wonder is 'where are the photographs?'. There are amusing drawings
to break up the text but at least a few photos would have been nice.
Maybe it was to do with printing/publication cost etc.
A must read
for those feeling call of the unknown and toying with the idea of taking
the road less travelled.
Buy it."
