I'm that guy who never stops talking about motorcycles. If there is a moment of silence at work, I talk about my latest parts purchase... or adventure stories I've read online, or my own personal crash story.

After reading Anxiety Across the Americas, I can easily say that Bill Dwyer's tales of adventure must be shared with my friends, family, and of course co-workers.

The best part about the book is that everything feels real. I've seen the Long Way Round/Down series and they are very entertaining... but the backup trucks and the office workers keeping them going across borders, and the infinite television funding really do detract from the reality of a grand adventure.

Bill has to patch Jenny up with every make shift repair you can imagine. It's a testament to both the engineering of his motorcycle and the persistence of Bill's character that they made it so far on their 19,000+ mile journey.

I came into reading the book thinking "Fantastic, an epic motorcycle trip!", but I came away from the book realizing that while the motorcycle and the locations were very interesting... Bill's internal struggles with his personal relationships and his anxiety were the most important part of the story.

Without revealing too much of the ending, I really do hope that Jenny is still having fun out there, somewhere....

Personally, I hope Bill Dwyer is ready to take his next journey, because I most certainly am ready to follow him in more of his books yet to come.

This was a great road trip description, both of the physical journey and the reason for it, but also of Justin and Landry's journeys into self-acceptance and commitment. I really enjoyed it.

The people are not perfect. Cathy and Thomas have their short comings but that is what makes the journey real for me. Real life isn't perfect, we make due with the hand we are giving and then we eat.

This morning I was dropped off from a ride I've chosen to take.  Actually the ride was more like a hitchhike.  The hitchhike was with a gentleman I've never met in the real physical sense.  We have never shook hands.  Dr. Stewart Bitkoff has been my chauffeur during these excursions.
Over the last year and a half we have become "acquainted"?  That is to say I met him on the Internet.
Along came his writings that I have become hitched to.  Going along the pages as one would go for a "joy ride" a cruise through thoughts, memories, allegories, metaphors, wisdoms, quotes to reach a said destination.
A book is like a vehicle that takes us from one thought to another through the written word.  Then utilizes our knowledge, perception and imagination to take us to another destination.
Today I finished the ride only to be left at a point in my thoughts where I must access where I am and where I will go.  Life is a ride, a journey.  Where I go from here is up to me.  Where I've been Dr. Bitkoff has taxied me through to better assess my progress and understand my destination.
Thank You Dr. Bitkoff.
I highly suggest that you, my fellow journeyman/woman, take the same ride that Dr. Bitkoff offers.  It just might assist you on your own journey.

I enjoyed a great deal.  I know one of the guys on the trip, so had a personal interest.  What an adventure they had, will be able to look back on those memories.

We love reading this book in the car as we are traveling.  We end up laughing so hard we can't breathe.

This book deviates from the summer at home filled by a new year at Hogwarts. It is an adventure across England with Harry, Ron and Hermione. Enjoy the ride

This is (NOT) a very informative book, but was a fun, easy, light-hearted read about Jenny's adventures on the road.  Hard to put down, and easy to pick back up.

I cherish each of the couple's stories as they find each other, their travels and their fun. It is such a wonderful trip.

Right from the first page, the author picks us up and takes us along on a wild ride through America in the sixties. And it is a thrilling ride! If youve lived through that era yourself, youll find familiarity; if not, there will be history to learn. And all through the pain, pleasure, humor, and finally, spirituality of one brave young woman.

This is a fun read about two retired people who move from England to Spain.  It's a really fun adventure.

This was a fingernail biting fun ride through the eyes of Katherine and her mixed bag of friends & family. They are on a mission try to find Della, who seems to have dissappeared into thin air.  I thoroughly enjoyed the story and couldn't put it down once I got started.

Sinners hits a high note. I can't wait to see where Maggie and Adam go from here. I hope the ride isn't too rocky. Maggie is going to be a star.

Jenny has a lot of gumption making the trip to Blythe Cove that her now deceased Mum had booked.  What she finds there is worth the trip! nny
