Neil has taken on the challenge of riding across the USA, sometimes with a friend, and sometimes without. He quickly learns the challenges and rewards of doing it on his own, as well as enjoying some time with old friends. Let me clarify here: He's riding a PUSH BIKE across the desert.

This novel covers only part of Neil's journey! It is astounding how much he has travelled on his trusty bike. I can't believe it, but then I think of other people who have cycled around the exterior of Australia and straight across the middle. Still though, its amazing what one man on a tiny bike can do if he is determined.

I interviewed Neil quite some time ago (I'm too afraid to look at the date), but the novel simply hadn't taken my fancy to read until lately. I'm on a mission to get through all the novels authors have sent me personally - if you've sent me a novel and I haven't reviewed it, pop me an email please!

This is non-fiction, and as such I'll not be giving it any stars. That being said, I think this novel would be good for people who have a passion for a 'singular' sport - one like cycling or running where you spend a lot of time with the scenery.
