Travel writing the way it should be - within AND without. January 2, 2001

I can't add anything much to the rest of these reviews, except to note that Ted Simon is now 69 and about to embark on the same round the world journey once more, commencing Jan 2001... I also recommend The Adventure Motorcycling Handbook for those who (as I did) attempt a similar escapade.
You will not want to put it down ... October 4, 2000

I was fortunate enough to be lent this book and have never forgotten it since. It has to be one of the best travel experiences I have ever read and I have read a few. This book is awe inspiring as Ted manages to capture his every thought/feeling as he travels around the globe encountering some mind boggling people and places. I truly felt I was there with him. A very, very difficult book to put down. You must read it to experience it.
Best book i have ever had the pleasure to read! July 6, 2000
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Being a keen motorcyclist in my youth, from time to time i had heard about ted and his travels, and the book he wrote, so i decided to get myself a copy. And im so glad i did, for it is the best book i have ever read, i just could not put it down once i had started to read it, it captures and caterpults you right into the adventure, at times i thought i was riding shotgun with ted. A great book that i would truly recomend to anyone, he even wrote another book after this one about begining to settle down after comming home, this i have also read, and that is also a good read. Top marks Ted?
The best travel book ever July 3, 2000

I am only 13 but i think this book is just amasing he decribes his feelings and what he is thinking so well that you can almost see what he is seeing and he is very trouthfull and doesn't lie to make his self look big and strong.
Best bloody book I've ever read. July 9, 1999

What can I say, read it, re-read it, treasure it, its a masterpiece. I first read it back in 82 while on my travels, still got the original. If you are out there Ted, best wishes, good luck and thankyou from someone who has dreamed of your experiences. One day I will visit the bike and realise for myself the experiences you wrote of and wish 'if only'
