I really enjoyed reading the first part of this book as Ted travelled down through Africa. He seemed focussed on the journey ahead, seemed interested in all the contrasting people around him and included lots of detail about his bike. From South America onwards however, he seemed to lose interest in the trip and dwelled far too long on certain events. He also skipped through whole countries in a matter of a couple of pages. His philosophising on whether he might be a God was irritating and at this point I found myself skipping pages. Disappointing in places.

Walter Isaacson has created a unique and wholely respectful insight into the life of one of the great scientific figures of the 20th century.
As with any biography that is true to the subject and not retrospectively judgemental, Mr. Isaacson paints a very human picture of a man held in awe by most and misunderstood by many. This is a first rate book. I've taken one star off, as the scientific detail could even be shorter. Mr.Isaacson, keep writing please ! >>More Details |

Great for car journeys, well produced, and lots of interesting stuff. Recommended for children 8 plus. My 10, 14 and 18 year old all enjoy these Naxos books, and so do their parents.
Well done naxos. >>More Details |

In two hundred years time very few people now alive will be routinely known and their names and deeds recalled. Only historians will be be familiar with the names of pygmies such as Bush and Blair. However, we live in a culture which immortalises great explorers - Magellan, Columbus, Cook, Amundsen, Hillary & Tenzing Norgay and many others. In our time Neil Armstrong joined this exclusive group along with Yuri Gagarin.
I would go so far as to say that the Apollo mission to the moon was the defining cultural statement of identity made by mankind in the second half of the twentieth century. It was our equivalent of building stonehenge, the great wall of China, the Egyptian pyramids, the great mediaeval cathedrals, the voyages of ... Read More: >>More Details |

I'm a big fun of Charlie Munger's writings and he put me in the direction of this book. It's deceptively simple. You start reading and think these are twee stories well told. It took me a couple of months to get really into it, but then each chapter needed to be read slowly to absorb its insight and idiosyncratic wisdom.
I love the way he says something by weaving it with stories from every day life, where he was at a particular time, what he did, and what happened afterwards. I'm a non-conformist, and I found Feynman a reassuring and inspiring kindred spirit. He's not impressed by much. He'd rather have turned down the Nobel Prize and he has a playful attitude to sex, authority and responsibility. What a cool and brilliant ... Read More: >>More Details |

I picked up this book as an "add on" to other biographical writing I was studying for a Creative Writing Course. During the course I didn't get chance to read it; I have seen and heard about Monty Roberts work and decided to read the book for pleasure.
It's an incredible story told simply and with great warmth. There are no pretensions - he just tells it how it is and is very generous with his description of his techniques and the highs and lows of his life's work. This is his (and his familys) story, his journey and his observations on this most noble of animals and their language. It's a mark of incredible generosity that he has put it down in words. I have been brought up with horses and understood how you treat them with ... Read More: >>More Details |

Although it may be unpalatable to many, this is exactly what it was ( ?is) like to be junior doctor...I know i was one.
I'm now a consultant and things haven't changed much (other than for the worse) Read it if you want to get a true perspective as opposed to the nonsense in Holby City, Casualty etc Whilst you're at it take a look at the Cardiac Arrest series from the 90's now on DVD -- probaly the best hospital TV series ever made >>More Details |
