LONG WAY ROUND...CHASING SHADOWS ACROSS THE WORLD Ewan McGregor & Charley Boorman

The Old Time Sign Philosopher Book Review

An incredible journey around the world on 2 motorcycles. The adventure of over 20,000 miles started as a lark. The epic journey is written by both McGregor (Obi-Wan Kenobi of "Star Wars") and Boorman (Karaoke, The Serpent's Kiss). Their trials and tribulations are excellently conveyed in both their triumphs over nature, machine and personal relationships.

Anyone who has ever driven a motorcycle will relive some of their own adventures in this travel saga including troublesome situations, impassable rivers, non-existent roads, language barriers and lousy weather. What made these two cyclists go on was the rewarding, once in a lifetime, experience of breathtaking scenery and delightful (colorful) people along the journey.

This action packed real life drama is more than just a travel book. "Long Way Round" ranks up with Jim Roger's "Investment Biker".

The Old Time Sign Philosopher enthusiastically endorses this book. "Long Way Round" is a travelogue must.
