Review:I purchased the thick paperback edition in 2003 and have used and enjoyed it often. I like the commentary and background.

In preparing for a trip to Italy, I got the Kindle edition so I would not have to lug the book or photocopy the pages I wanted to bring.
Boy was that a mistake. The Kindle edition is so sparse. I was under the mistaken impression it would have the same content as the paper version.

Live and learn. Read more

Review:I don ' t know much about horses, so I hesitated to buy this book. I'm glad I decided to read it any way! It 's an entertaining and moving story. Thank you John Egenes for taking me along on your journey! Read more

Review:This is the fascinating story of a resourceful sailor who drifted in a life raft across the Atlantic Ocean. Unlike other adventurers who have chronicled solo transoceanic journeys (Joshua Slocum, Thor Heyerdahl, Alain Bombard, William Willis, etc.), his journey was unplanned. After the sudden sinking of his sailboat, he had to hurriedly abandon ship into an inflatable life raft with whatever supplies he could snatch. His seventy-six day ordeal takes place in this constantly leaking raft too smal... Read more

Review:One of the better trail writers. I look forward to more from him. I enjoyed his story and style of writing. Unlike another Brit who wrote about his hike, I appreciated that he found a lot of things to be positive about concerning the USA. It was refreshing. I'm going to check out his website to learn more about what he is up to now. Read more

Review:I liked the book mostly but was pretty turned off by the authors political views and obvious disdain for anything to do with the US Military... even while working for them. In any case, those sections were rather small and easy to dismiss. Overall, a great book. Read more

Review:Half way through the book so far. Filled with historical anecdotes about the period as well as some of the countries visited. Coming from the Pittsburgh, PA area, I found the references to the Western PA immigrant work ethic and strife poignant, especially when I learned of the plight of the coal stokers on the ocean-going ships. Their lives were misery and short with black lung, made worse when a ship was pushing for a record time crossing from the Far East to CA or across the Atlantic. The con... Read more

Review:An excellent story of how one woman's journey across the outback of Australia became a life altering event. It is hard to imagine in today's world someone volunteering to endure all that she went through to complete this journey. Read more

Review:After losing my cat several months ago I found this book very enlightening. Sometimes as a pet owner I think we all sit and wonder what can possibly be going through there little minds when we talk to them, when the jump on us when they purr, sleep and play. They are smart, funny and extremely comforting. Well done. Brought tears to my eyes as I was nearing the last pages. Read more

Review:There is no better example of a true and dedicated friendship, the gift of giving, inspiration, adventure and the triumph of the human spirit than I'LL PUSH YOU.
To quote Yates, "Think where men's glory begins and ends, and say my glory was that I had such friends". Read more

Review:I won this book as a goodreads giveaway. I really love the cover of the book and it's very fitting to the story. The dedication is so sweet, and will probably stand out in my mind forever. That just brings tears to your eyes every time you read it. The story is inspiring. I would love to quit my job and travel. As exciting as that is there's a lot of unknowns which can be scary. Something I did while reading was googled images of the locations Kyle and Ash visited. Great writing to describe each... Read more
