5.0 out of 5 stars Heartwarming, inspiring, and damn funny too!, 24 May 2011

Grahame Gardner (Glasgow, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: You've Gone Too Far This Time, Sir! (Kindle Edition)

An epic travelogue chronicling one man's adventure bicycling across continents to reach a jungle school in India. What shines through is the innate honesty and kindness towards travellers displayed by the people he meets; people take him in when he's tired and hungry, give him somewhere to sleep, feed him, even give him money when he has no local currency.

Travelling through some of the most dangerous countries in Eastern Europe and Asia, whether it's dodging Russian Mafia gangsters or Taliban insurgents, Danny somehow manages to bring out the best in humanity wherever he goes. This really restores your faith in the human race; although his sometimes graphic descriptions of the insanitary conditions and the intestinal consequences resulting from same have completely put me off wanting to visit India!

Read it. Enjoy it. Give some money to Action Aid.

5.0 out of 5 stars You'll laugh, laugh agan and hopefully be inspired, 7 April 2011

R. W. Westaway (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: You've Gone Too Far This Time, Sir! (Kindle Edition)

A great (true) story from first-time author Danny Bent about his cycle journey from London to India where he is to take up a teaching job. It is an honest, factual account which benefits greatly from Danny's huge personality and obvious love of life.

His descriptions of his antics on this epic ride are at different times hilarious, touching and informative. This chronicle of his journey is both eminently readable and absolutely inspiring.

Well done Danny, I can't wait to read you next book, bring it on!

This is a thoroughly entertaining read. It's so well written and informative, I couldn't put it down. How lucky some children are to have teachers with such energy and vibrancy.

Amazing book. Read it cover to cover very quickly. Very heart warming story about a guy, his love of teaching and Shirley.

Seriously, don't think about it. Buy it.

Danny Bent is not a travel writer, he is not a cyclist or a daredevil. What he is, I suspect is something we all aspire to at one time or another. Read more
