As an uneducated Brit I found this book inspiring and really informative. I picked this up as a lover of stories from travels by bike (be it motorbike or bicycle) and came away with a better perspective on what is happening in Palestine and a great sadness for it all.

Well-written and gripping set of stories of different people and opinions (from both sides) in a broken land.
If you want to get a sincere and day-to-day kind of look of Israel and Palestine, this book is for you.
I really enjoyed the element of the journey written through the perspective of cycling and I wish I could find such a passion one day as the author is obviously enjoying!

Even though the author claims he is pro-people in the book, I would be interested if any Israelis (or pro-Israelis) would consider reading it as it does not seem like a book that would be easy to comprehend from that side.

Impressive journey with compelling people!
