The Masked Rider

Cycling in West Africa

De: Neil Peart

Narrado por: Brian Sutherland

Dysentery, drunken soldiers, and corrupt officials provide the background for Neil Peart's physical and spiritual cycling journey through West Africa.

The prolific drummer for the rock band Rush travels through African villages, both large and small, and relates his story through journal entries and tales of adventure, while simultaneously addressing issues such as differences in culture, psychology, and labels. Literary and artistic sidekicks such as Aristotle, Dante, and Van Gogh join Peart and his cycling companions, reminding the listener that this is not just another travel book - it is a story of both external and introspective discovery and adventure.

Even if you aren't a Rush/Neil fan...

This is a pretty good read. If you like travel to unusual places, foreign cultures, etc... you should enjoy Neil's insight.

What a ride

This is not something I would attempt but I'm glad he shared the experience.

fabulous!!

exactly what I hoped for in an adventure and beautifully written took me right there the whole time

Great stories

I'm hooked on Neil's books. This one did not disappoint. He makes me want to travel more. I plan on doing just that.

Just a book about real life..

This book is a real life story of Neil Peart's experience traveling in West Africa.
There's nothing too shocking in the story, but certainly serves to replace the trip in your life.
I'm personally a Neil Peart, and Rush fan, so I surely enjoyed it a bit more than the non-Rush fan.
