About this product

Product Information

It started as a daydream. Poring over a map of the world at home one quiet Saturday afternoon, Ewan McGregor -- acclaimed actor and self-confessed bike nut -- noticed that it was possible to ride all the way round the world, with just one short hop across the Bering Strait from Russia to Alaska. It was a revelation he couldn't get out of his head. So he picked up the phone and called his fellow actor-slash-biker friend Charley Boorman and told him it was time to hit the road.... Long Way Round Beginning in London, Ewan and Charley chased their shadows through Europe, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and Russia; across the Pacific to Alaska; then down through Canada all the way to New York. Long Way Round is the result of their four-month, 20,000-mile joyride. Featuring original diary entries, travel maps, mileage charts, and dozens of photographs, this is a freewheeling, fully charged, and uproariously entertaining book about two world-famous individuals who chose the road not taken...and made the journey worthwhile.

I was very happy, finally finding, this Large Print version for my mother, even though I thought $9.99 shipping was a bit excessive. My happiness continued until I opened the shipping container and found a receipt itemizign book and shipping which totaled $15.00 less than I paid. Your suggestion for me to ignore the receipt was not the solution I was looking for when I contacted you. Perhaps a better solution would have been to apologize and insure you would be more cautious for future sales.

  • Great Read for the Adventurous

    For anyone that likes nonfiction adventure, also for gearheads, outdoor enthusiasts, or travel enthusiasts. This book has something for everyone. This book opened my eyes to the untamed frontiers and cultures of the world. The slew of elaborate vodka-chugging characters from the Czech Republic to Siberia are one of the many highlights of this book.

  • Long Way Round

    I really enjoyed the read, it's a must if you have the DVD's since the book complements the film. Easy read, maybe too easy. For the second trip, the Long Way Down, you notice how they have polished their writing skills and the filming skills as well

  • Very enjoyable book.

    Sorry that this book had to end. It is a well written journal of an ambitious motorcycle trip around the world. As well as a narrative of the things that happened, the writers examine how they feel about a lot of things. Easy to read. Great pictures. I recommend this book very highly.

  • My wife stole it :/

    i have been looking forward to reading this book for awhile. I ordered it and my wife had opened the package and started reading it before i got home from work so i have not got to start it yet. She hardly puts it down so it must be an excellent book.

  • Long way Round

    I bought this book for my husband from a friends referal. My husband did'nt think he was going to like it, but ended up liking it quite well.
