Very insightful

This was an amazing book. Both men tell compelling stories and convey their sense of wonder about what they see and hear.

Great book

Great book that should be a companion to the DVD set. I do recommend that instead of this book you buy the illustrated edition. MOre pictures and the same verbage. But, buy at least one of them.

The Great Adventure Uncaptured

A really good trip that gets blown by putting this adventure in
the hands of an amateur writer.
While this is an overall good story with some great adventure, I found
myself at times having to figure out what was going on because of a lack
in the writers ability. I don't know if this is a result of poorly kept journals or the inability of the writer to fully take on the opportunity to embellish on this tale and turn it into the truly great adventure that I'm sure that it was.As a result, I feel that at least half the adventure gets lost by what is not written. Furthermore,to sum up the entire North American continent in the course of about 30 pages was an extreme disappointment. Either they chose not to find any adventure in the this region ( I believe this to be the case as they seemed quite anxious to just get it over with by this point ) or they felt more compelled to focus on the more exotic,lesser known countries.
All in all I will say that it is a good read, at times fun, but it does
lack the overall quality that would make this a great book. I hope that
their next undertaking includes a better written tale to capture and convey to the reader their whole experience.
