Benji's story takes you across wild geographical and emotional territory - long before Ewan McGregor and his electric motorcycle adventures ;>). Benji tells a marvellous story of loss, hope, resilience and redemption. I know he's been called upon numerous times for talks in schools and is a warm and compassionate speaker. You'll be locked in to his desert riding odyssey from the get go. It's an amazing and very human tale of acutely lived experience. A must read, and an extra dimension to the story on audio :>)

This is a decent book, but it is NOT about adventure motorcycle riding. Unfortunately, it was recommended to me as an adventure motoring book.

Benji is an interesting guy and decent writer but this is not what it was represented to be by a major motorcycle magazine.

So three stars for a decent book that is misrepresented by the photos on both front and back covers of the book.

Well, it’s not a book about motorcycles. After reading king of the desert I thought I’d try this one out. Two very different books…

Benji has had a hard life and tells a good story of facing personal challenges, he certainly pushes himself. It was well written but some closure at the end would have been nice. What happens 6 months after he finishes the trip?
