Film star Ewan McGregor travels around the world by motorcycle with his best friend, actor Charley Boorman - a unique and fascinating travel/adventure book From London to New York, Ewan and Charley chased their shadows through Europe, the Ukraine, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and Russia, across the Pacific to Alaska, then down through Canada and America. But as the miles slipped beneath the tyres of their big BMWs, their troubles started. Exhaustion, injury and accidents tested their strength. Treacherous roads, unpredictable weather and turbulent politics challenged their stamina. They were chased by paparazzi in Kazakhstan, courted by men with very large guns in the Ukraine, hassled by the police, and given bulls' testicles for supper by Mongolian nomads. And yet despite all these obstacles they managed to ride more than twenty thousand miles in four months, changing their lives forever in the process. As they travelled they documented their trip, taking photographs, and writing diaries by the campfire. Long Way Round is the result of their adventures - a fascinating, frank and highly entertaining travel book about two friends riding round the world together.

Long Way Round

The book provides you with so much more than the film . It allows the reader to understand how the boys are feeling , what is their anxiety levels up and what's very interesting is , regardless what life experiences you believe you hold , a trip like this one , shows you , you can never have enough experience and or confidence to prepare for the unknown thrown at you by a trip like this . Great read and i am looking to forward to watching the film once again now that i read the book
