A review by randomdawdler
Long Way Down by Charley Boorman, Ewan McGregor

4.0

This is a good follow up book, with some good descriptions of the people, the wildlife and the landscapes seen while travelling throughout Africa. There are some sad stories and some funny ones and there are some nice surprises too. I haven't seen the TV show, so the photos were nice in terms of helping illustrate at least some of what they saw. I enjoyed reading this as a follow up to their previous journey, 'Long Way Round'. I gather there is now a 3rd installment, as it were, which was released on streaming TV last year, so if there's a third book then I'd consider reading it at some point, yes. It did leave me wondering if Ewan's wife has ended up continuing with the bike riding - that isn't really clarified but then maybe that's just me being nosy lol. Its a decent read anyway, with good appendixes at the back for anyone interested in reading more of the specifics in terms of distances travelled and equipment used.
