The highly-acclaimed sequel to August Esquire's bestselling "On the Lam" brings you to four more memorable countries. From sacrificing animals in Mexico to frolicking with peckish deer in Japan, this second instalment will bring you to tears with true tales of travels gone awry.

by August J. Esquire

Rating:5/5

Review:

👉 If you’re looking for a book that takes you on a whirlwind adventure filled with humor, heart, and a touch of chaos, On the Lam: Going Rogue is your perfect pick! This highly-acclaimed sequel to On the Lam delivers everything you could hope for in a travel memoir—and more.

👉August J. Esquire masterfully recounts his escapades across four fascinating countries, from surreal rituals in Mexico to playful encounters with deer in Japan. Every story is brimming with hilarity and unexpected twists that keep you hooked from start to finish. Esquire's knack for turning travel disasters into laugh-out-loud moments is unparalleled, proving that sometimes, the best stories come from plans that go spectacularly awry.

👉The writing is sharp, witty, and refreshingly addictive. Esquire has an uncanny ability to make you laugh one moment and reflect the next, creating a unique blend of humor and insight. His storytelling isn’t just entertaining—it’s an invitation to embrace life’s unpredictability and find joy in the chaos.

👉Whether you’re a fan of travel memoirs, humor, or simply love a book that makes you feel good from within, this one’s for you. While you can absolutely enjoy On the Lam: Going Rogue as a standalone, I highly recommend picking up the first book too—it’s a double dose of laughter and adventure you won’t regret.

👉This book has easily become one of my favorite reads of the year and a story I’ll never forget. It’s the kind of book you keep coming back to, just to relive the joy it brings. So, grab your copy, buckle up, and get ready for an unforgettable journey!

Go for it—you won’t regret it! 📚📚

Happy reading 😁

Just look at the title, why would I not pick it. Also, after reading the first book by the author I just couldn't stop myself from reading this one and I was in love with it too. I started this book in midnight and I just couldn't leave it, the language is like light it gets absorbed as soon as you read it.

The author's writing is really addictive and his sense of humour is everything, there are so many fictional and non fictional stories out there but only a few authors can make you laugh and feel happy and crazy from within and this is truly one of those books that just will be like, Oh goshh!! Why didn't I think like that!

The amount of involvement in terms of words and stories that's been provided by the author is surely worth appreciating. One of the best collections I have read in the year and probably a book that I will never forget. Yes, you can read it as a standalone but I genuinely recommend you to check both the books.
Go for it.

Book 29/100: On the lam: Going Rogue by August J. Esquire!! I got sent a copy of this sequel to keep me busy during this quarantine, call it my quarantainement if you wil, courtesy of @augustj.esquire . Full of great travel stories once more,  the writing superb to the point of making me laugh out loud many times, and always being optimistic in the face of bad luck. The Japan story tugged at my heartstrings as well, and I'm glad all was well that ended well. If you feel like this social distancing and self-isolation is getting the best of you, make sure to grab yourself a copy of On the lam (both books), you'll feel like you just travelled the world from the comfort of your own home! Thank you August for these wonderful adventures once more! Please keep writing and sharing these adventures!
