Book Reviews of Ghost Rider: Travels on the Healing Road

Book Review: Open Heart Surgery!
Summary: 4 Stars

A great read! I bought this book when I was in Canada and could hardly put it down. The writer lost his wife and daughter (even his dog!) in the space of a few months and the books tells the tale of his attempts to try to get his life back. Very emotional (obviously), but also humorous, ironic and written with a dry wit throughout. Neil rides his BMW bike from Canada through the USA and into Mexico and Belize and we get full descriptions along the way. I call this 'open heart surgury' because he bares the pain in his heart to all of the readers, and even without necessarily experiencing such disaster in our own lives we can easily identify with his suffering. At no point do we ever feel like shouting 'pull yourself together man', and this - I feel - is due to his skill as a writer in bringing us all on side.
Only his second published book, but sure not to ne his last.
