'A great book' BELLA


Product Description

** INCLUDES EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH CHARLEY BOORMAN ** After chasing their shadows across the world, journeying east from London to New York, actors (and bike fanatics) Ewan Mc Gregor and Charley Boorman couldn't shake the travel bug. And after an inspirational UNICEF visit to Africa, they realised their new destination could be nowhere else. With the Long Way Round team assembled once again and with two new BMWs loaded up for the journey, Ewan and Charley are setting off for a very different challenge - the Long Way Down. On this new adventure they will travel from John O'Groats to South Africa: biking their way down through Scotland and England, then travelling into Europe and further down into Africa. Visiting UNICEF projects on the African continent along their way, they will come face-to-face with spectacular but unforgiving terrain, with rich cultures and unforgettable local characters. Ewan and Charley will test their endurance, biking skills and friendship to the limits on this amazing trip.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing sequel, 10 Nov 2007
This review is from: Long Way Down (Hardcover)
I went straight out to buy this book, having really enjoyed Long Way Round and Race To Dakar. I wasn't necessarily expecting more of the same - I knew from the start that their ride through Africa would have a very different feel to Long Way Round. And unlike a lot of newspaper reviewers, I don't have a problem with the fact that they did a lot of work for 'charidee' along the way. But this book was still a disappointment. The account of the journey lacked any really coherence and I didn't feel by the end of the it that they had undertaken a great adventure in the same way that they had on their previous trip. The book also referred at several points to tension within the camp and that seemed to be reflected in an awkward writing style and succession of rather flat jokes. I'd struggle to recommend this to anyone, either a fan or someone new to the series.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing after the brilliant first..., 17 Nov 2007
By D. Little (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Long Way Down (Hardcover)
Have just finished this and am extremely disappointed, as others have said before me.

It had absolutely none of the magic or adventure of Long Way Round, and seemed a truly half-hearted attempt at recording the journey.

Frustratingly, I cannot put my finger on the reason for this. But what came across occasionally was obvious tensions between the crew, which I suspect started with the decision for Ewan's wife to partake in part of the trip. I'm guessing this caused some friction between Ewan and Charlie and it has come across in the writing.

A real shame as it's something I was truly looking forward to.

2.0 out of 5 stars An opportunity lost., 27 Nov 2007
This review is from: Long Way Down (Hardcover)
It is obvious that both Charley and Ewan have spoken to the person writing this book and it is a literal account of what they did. They could have gone deeper into what they wanted to achieve etc. The thing is that a lot of people will watch the tv programme and then want to read the book. In fact what they will find is the programme in print. They had the space to expand on the adventure etc. They didn't

You get the feeling that instead, it is a cynical tie-in book that was rushed to print to cash in on the popularity of the tv programme.

I hope the boys will spend more time and effort next time round or down.
