review 1: Like a cycle ride , it begins all slowly, first an accident that becomes the defining moment of Danny's life..His love for cycling and the long rides has been the thing of his life, and when he chose this to carry his life was only predictable, but the extend he choses only raised my eyebrow..To raise money for actionaid he rides through continents, starting from England riding through Europe all the way through western India all the way to India was on a high note of inspiration...All through the book its the zeal and zest for his life that I loved and admired, going through bumpy roads enduring every moment of hardship for a greater good..I know how tough is to maneuver through Indian roads on a two wheeler and a cycle is something I don't even want to imagine..All throu... moregh teaching in school getting inspired through the lives of children he gets to meet, his words are too beautifully put in...The food poisoning , getting sick , coping with the culture shock, road traffic, sour leg,shivering through the nights with just the spirits to push him ahead is one hell of ride..Another thing that I love was his sense of wit and fun, he lives by moments never boasting about the things he did just observing and retelling the tales in a way that his spirits touches the reader..He hasn't gone overboard noting the drawbacks of any country, he is been to, putting those observations in a a politically correct angle..Though there are no much historical background of the places he visits or the roads he takes, there are all engaging and inspiring in every way..I highly recommend this one..
review 2: Danny Bent certainly deserves a pat on the back for his very worthy adventure, a fantastic ride and I can imagine Danny being a fantastic teacher. However there is a problem. The book is quite simply badly written, which is a real shame and perhaps more the fault of the publisher than the author. Either way it reads like a school assignment "What did you do last summer?" that has been written by an 11 year old.I did loose some respect for the author when he relates his lack of cola and chocolate to the hunger of the Jews during the holocaust. That was genuinely awful, and the author should have seen how incredibly disrespectful that is.A great story, but this book is a huge opportunity missed. less
