review 1: This guy basically wrote a new zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance. My dad and I have always been big into harleys and he made me read that back in the day. I liked zen, and it was a good book and all but a litlte long. The bike parts were the best. Well, this guy wrote what's like a whole new generations version of that book. I'm not big into romance stuff, so that was the one thing I didn't really care about much. It's real sounding and not how most movies or books deal with it which is fine, its just not my thing. But the bike stuff he gets so totally right it makes up for it. Most guys I know talk a big game and never screw up and they are totally perfect everytime they toss a leg over. Reality is that most real folks who ride mess up all the time! This g... moreuy nails that in this book. He has alot of problems and talks about it in ways you actually think and feel about stuff like that. It really remmdinded me of that motorcycle diaries movie about Che. I had to go watch that after finishing this book and there's tons in this book that reminds me of it like the bike stuff and helping people. Learned lots about haiti I dind't know about. Made me want to ride. Great stuff.
review 2: I won this book through Goodreads and am so happy that I did! Initially I didn't think I would like the book; I thought the book was going to be primarily about motorcycles, but this book really is about our journey through life. I think anyone over 35+ would relate to Greg, his failures and struggle to find meaning and value in his life. His failures might be different than our own, but his struggle to find meaning is an universal struggle. Thank you LW for writing this book...it's definitely a "good read". less
