Awesome !

What an awesome book, recording an awesome experience.As a biker myself, I was attracted to the book just to read about a trip that is beyond my means and abilities, but the book ended up meaning much more than that to me. It showed me, yet again, that wherever you go in the world (And I've travelled a fair bit of it myself in my work as a seafarer !) people everywhere are just people like you and I, when you get past the religious, political and economic differences that can so often divide us. It also highlights the fact that people who make a living in the film industry are not necessarily unapproachable, self centred and addicted to adulation. They can be warm, human and prone to the same joys, fears and desires as the rest of us. In short, they are human beings who just happen to have a good job. This is not just a good read about a motor bike trip of a lifetime, it is a book that rekindles hope that the world, and its varied people, is a beautiful place after all, and not half as dangerous as some would have us believe. Whether you're a biker, an armchair traveller or just someone looking for an exciting and inspiring read, then this book is for you. I can't praise it highly enough.

The Road to Destiny

I don't understand some of these reviews. I've read the book and seen the TV series, and as an adventure travel junkie, I enjoyed both tremendously!

I'm so baffled and delighted by the adventure these 2 guys embarked on, I've been wildly telling all my family and friends to check out this DVD because though it takes 2 sittings to watch the entire thing (you just can't condense 100 days into 2 hours you know), every minute is plain riveting. I would recommend watching the DVD's before reading the book, then you can better picture where they are and the people they meet while you're reading along.
