Long Way Down by Charley Boorman, Ewan McGregor

I loved this book. I’d already watched the TV show, so I knew most of the big moments and things, but it’s so great to read what the adventure is like from their perspective on the road. They both do a great job at describing how different each country is and letting you share in the experience of meeting people along the way.
Perhaps the best parts are when they visit UNICEF and RIDERS. Little goodwill and awareness visits that show the reader what’s being done in Africa to help and why it needs to be done. It’s a tad depressing but it definitely amps the readers knowledge and might inspire some to learn how they can help.
It also turned out to be a great book for learning things about Africa and its nations. We get to hear a little bit about each country they visit and it actually got me curious enough to some research on some of them. So it’s educational!
