Reseñas de la Crítica

"The Road Taken is a pleasure to read and entices the reader to rush forward to the next chapter. Linda's self-confidence, sense of adventure and can-do attitude are dominant in her evolution as someone who does not take no! for an answer." - Burt Richmond

"I was gripped by The Road Taken from the first page to the last. Linda's memoir is riveting and self-revealing in its honesty. I have traveled the world by sailboat and saw some parallels between her extraordinary and daring adventures and mine." - Helen Lowrey, sailor in a custom-built boat

"Linda's architecture reflects her experience of Australia. It incorporates her love of the wide sparse desert and freedom found in traveling across this unique environment. Linda, the Artist and Patron, has brilliantly melded the iconography of Australia with her unique and personal collaboration of Architects, Designers, Artists and Craftsmen. This book is inspiration and essential reading for the Me-Too generation." - Michael Rigg, M.Contemp Art, Architect B.Arch. [hons]

"Linda Dodwell is just one of several women I know who used motorbikes to escape from thankless domesticity. This breathtaking excursion through an eventful life is a vivid description of what to expect when the lust for self-determination takes over. Inadequate men eventually fall by the wayside. If there's a moral to this tale, its for men. Best to marry a biker chick then you'll know what you're in for." - Ted Simon, Jupiter's Travels, Dreaming of Jupiter and The Gypsy in Me, travel writer and filmmaker

A must hear journey - one wild, honest ride

This memoir was thrilling to listen to - a wonderful fusion of adventure, self-discovery, and artistry. It was inspiring to hear a powerful woman reclaim her independence while crossing continents on a motorcycle and competing in a legendary car rally. Her experience in the male dominated world of Motorsports is shared with humor, honesty, and heart. Such a compelling and enjoyable listen.
