Publisher Review

Reeve is in a class of his own * The Times * In the last decade, he's made a name for himself as British TV's most adventurous presenter. He's hunted with the Bushmen of Kalahari, hung out with biker outlaws in Australia and been taught to fish by the president of Moldova. * Radio Times * The craziest (or bravest) man on TV * Daily Mail * TV's most interesting globetrotter * Independent * Simon Reeve, a man whose very name is a guarantee of interesting television. Outstanding. * Observer * Genuinely interesting stories... remarkable * London Evening Standard * This vivid account of his fascinating, often hair-raising crusades feels more like an enthralling exchange over coffee with a friend than a formal autobiography. * Compass Magazine * It is an account of his mind's journey to inner peace - and it is wonderfully life-affirming -- Max Pemberton * Daily Mail * Fascinating... a very honest account of the world as he has seen it, from Acton to the ends of the Earth * Geographical * You can be sure to trust Simon to find a fun story. Simon might just be the best tour guide in the world. * Sun * Reeve is a most likeable travelling companion, and the joy of the open road radiates from these pages * Times Literary Supplement * Cracking stories from his travels * Alastair Humphreys, Explorer and National Geographic Adventurer of the Year *
