Who Needs a Road

As both an adventure traveler and a vehicle enthusist this book was a relief to read. Mr. Stephens and Podell relate an experience that I would love to duplicate, an around the world adventure ripe with hi-jinx and romance. In a the current world of SUV commercials preaching get out and drive for fun, these guys show how much you can have without your heated seats and cell phone. I love the idea of packing all your junk in a rustic old truck and heading around the world. Of course it would be great to get all the sponsors that they had, but it would be a little bit harder to be as out of reach today especially if you had to report to the man. This book is fun and exciting and reason enough to quit you job, sell your $35,000 exploder, er Explorer, buy a real truck and use the left over money to start driving. Don't worry you'll figure out how to eat, get gas, get out of trouble and make it home. If you want to come home.

A great read. Get it now - you won't be disappointed!

Anyone who has ever traveled anywhere by car (and who hasn't) will absolutely love the adventures and misadventures of Stephens, Podell and crew on this over-the-road around the world trip in a 60's era Toyota Land Cruiser. It's amazing they came back alive!

Every bit as entertaining as the best of Cahill and Bryson but less long-winded, the adventure is related in a page-turning series of concisely written and entertaining passages that will have you howling with laughter and empathizing in pain.

You will love this book!
