What a woman, what an adventure! September 15, 2008
This book will charm you, scare you and grip you like no other! Lois is an adventure biking goddess but if you're not into bikes don't let that put you off. At the heart of this book is an interesting travel story amusingly told. Buy it, you won't be able to put it down!
GREAT TRAVEL ADVENTURE September 8, 2008
What a woman !! She does things we only dream of with humor and charm I find this kind of travel writing totaly addictive Funny, frightning, and above all entertaining its about pure travel not some sudo political tour that some writers get hung up about (they seem to have made there mind up about a destination before they got there) not lois she tells it as it is shares her fears and makes her own mind up and above all she remembers that travel is not just about getting the miles in LONG MAY SHE REIGN i will cetainly follow her future exploits who knows we could have a new English female Bill Bryson.

This is the second Lois Pryce book I have bought and read, to add to my large collection of travel books (not all motorcycle travel), and I unable to decide if it is the best or the second best book on my shelf. Either way they are both written by Lois! This book is well named; at times I found myself holding my breath as I turned the pages, wondering what was going to happen next. I'm sure there were indentations in the covers when I finished.
My good lady is not a travel book or motorcycle fan but she simply devoured both these books in a day or two each, so I can recommend this book highly to people with a passion for bikes, a passion or adventure travel AND to people without! If Lois can go to these places and do these things by herself, I'm really looking forward to seeing what she and her husband Austin Vince Mondo Enduro: The Ultimate Adventure on Two Wheels - 44,000 Miles in 400 Days can do together. Heaven help us if they ever have kids! Buy it for yourself and leave it laying around for the rest of the family to read. Thanks Lois!

Reading Motorcycle travel stories can be addictive.
Only the best are contagious, making me want to ride again.
This one definitely is.
'Lois on the Loose' is a perfect give away present for the (too few) motorcycle women I know, more so because there is a Dutch version.
But now, after reading this second book, I want to spread the bug again and again and again. Will there be a Dutch translation?
I am a fan. Check out her site; loisontheloose.com

What a great read!This is one of those rare books that you just want to go on and on and never stop.I've now read both of Lois's books and can thoroughly reccomend them.Her bravery is outstanding-makes Charlie and Ewen look like a pair of woossies.Can't wait for the next instalment.
