À propos de cet audio
From London to New York, Ewan and Charley chased their shadows through Europe, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Russia, across the Pacific to Alaska, then down through Canada and America. But as the miles slipped beneath the tyres of their big BMWs, their troubles started. Exhaustion, injury and accidents tested their strength. Treacherous roads, unpredictable weather and turbulent politics challenged their stamina. They were chased by paparazzi in Kazakhstan, courted by men with very large guns in the Ukraine, hassled by the police, and given bulls' testicles for supper by Mongolian nomads.
And yet despite all these obstacles they managed to ride more than 20,000 miles in four months, changing their lives forever in the process. As they travelled they documented their trip, taking photographs, and writing diaries by the campfire. Long Way Round is the result of their adventures - a fascinating, frank and highly entertaining travel book about two friends riding round the world together and, against all the odds, realising their dream.

Great book on the fantastic series despite being abridged.
Although this is abridged you do get a much bigger sense of the trip and a feeling you are getting more of what went on when the camera wasn't rolling unlike the sequel Long Way Down's audiobook that is hacked down to a mere three hours and doesn't feel like it's adding anything to the series. But that isn't the problem here... this is a great companion to the TV show I only wish it was the full version. The narration is solid but it must be said the englishman reading Charley's parts does Ewans voice when Charlie is quoting him and sound far more like Ewan than the scottish guy doing the Narration for Ewans sections of the book. Good purchase.

Unabridged Long Way Round
Adds far more insight than the show did. What a fantastic adventure! Only complaint is the narrator who played Charley sounded way too much like the real life Ewan McGregor... kept confusing me!

It's no burnout
As a fellow rider, this is sort of a must for moto guys and gals. Riding around the world is the Everest of most adventure riders out there. Good story, funny in parts (mostly the swearing) but overall pretty vanilla way to tell a story. It's basically a week by week account - went here, did this, missed my family, rode here, met this guy, got stuck, missed family. Not my type of storytelling, I was not hooked. Also, it would have been great if it was read by the authors not some other two blokes.
