Customer comments on this selection.
 I enjoyed Race To Dakar very much.
Race to Dakar
I first found Charley Boorman through his trip Long Way Round. I read that book and devoured the DVD TV series. And found out Charley was going to try the Dakar rally.
I ended up reading Race To Dakar in one day. It was so engaging I could not put it down. I liked everything about it. Its shown me places I'm sure I'll never see.
Then I bought the Race To Dakar DVD through Amazon.Ca. And it was just as amazing as the book.
Fantastic Adventure
This book was great. I didn't really know too much about the Dakar Rally before reading this book. Reading about all of the preparation before the rally was great. However, reading about the rally itself was the best part. It was amazing to read about all of the adversity that each rider faces, especially the privateers (non-factory teams).
I recommend this book if you are interested in the Dakar Rally or enjoyed "The Long Way Round."
 Not the same without Ewan
Fans of "Long Way Round" and "Long Way Down" will find this book of interest, but just not the same without Charley's riding mate Ewan.
Give it a chance!
I must say I really enjoyed this book. The DVD was good, but the book is great. You really get the feeling you are along with the racers. IMO I have read the LWR and feel that the Race to Daker is a better book.
