review 1: This book was a little disappointing. I loved the "Long" books. I was expecting different though because it is Charlie's voice alone that we are hearing. But I also like "Race to Dakar". But this book on the other hand just didn't have the same oomph. It seemed rushed. There wasn't enough detail about the experiences to make you feel like you are there with him experiencing it for yourself which is why I love to read travel books. I live in Canada but haven't seen very much of my country so I was hoping to see it with Charlie but that wasn't the case.
review 2: I was really loooking forward to reading this book and to learn about places I have yet to visit in my country. I have read the other books from Charley and Ewan McGregor and really enjoyed them. Ex... moretreme Frontiers has two glaring mistakes in the book. On page 80, he is in Winnipeg and he is to head to Regina, Saskatchewan not Manitoba as it states. He then goes onto to say that Manitoba is the flattest province in Canada which maybe true, however, SK is famous for being flat as a pancake. After I read this I couldn't devote anymore of my time into something that had such a huge mistake. I also thought the book was very boring. In the last books, there was dialogue between Ewan and Charley and they fed off each other and it was great to hear what they thought or felt on the same activity. In this book it was mediocre detail and was missing Ewans side of the story.I woudn't recommend this book at all! less
