I admit I am biased since I've been a Rush fan since 1976 but this book is a page turner. His descriptions of the natural world are wonderful and he doesn't mince words about his views of certain cross sections of society. Although he can be quite critical of others, he finds the words to describe his own short comings. It's a great travelogue that has inspired me to hit the road myself. A few more bucket list items have been added.
