Dysentery, drunken soldiers, and corrupt officials provide the background for Neil Peart's physical and spiritual cycling journey through West Africa.

The prolific drummer for the rock band Rush travels through African villages, both large and small, and relates his story through journal entries and tales of adventure, while simultaneously addressing issues such as differences in culture, psychology, and labels. Literary and artistic sidekicks such as Aristotle, Dante, and Van Gogh join Peart and his cycling companions, reminding the listener that this is not just another travel book - it is a story of both external and introspective discovery and adventure.

This book is a real life story of Neil Peart's experience traveling in West Africa.
There's nothing too shocking in the story, but certainly serves to replace the trip in your life.
I'm personally a Neil Peart, and Rush fan, so I surely enjoyed it a bit more than the non-Rush fan.

Just a book about real life..
