Über diesen Titel

What happens when a journey goes wrong? What happens when a travel book doesn't have a happy ending?

Stu Nugent was never a good candidate for a round-the-world cycling trip. He was, and remains, a coward. In a flash of uncharacteristic daring, he attempted to cycle the Northern Silk Road, from Shanghai to Europe. He failed. He failed dramatically.

Against a backdrop of the world's most staggering, awe-inspiring landscapes, he was forced to smoke opium at gunpoint, attacked by a snake in a remote Kyrgyz river, robbed at gunpoint by the police, and eventually imprisoned in anonymous jail somewhere on the Kazakh steppe.

How did it all go so wrong?

Introduction

The first time I heared from Stu was a random video suggestion from Youtube where a bearded bloke mentionen cycling across Asia drinking a bottle of vodka a day. Being an avid long distance cyclist myself I was instantly hooked by the sheer insanity of this "idea". Started watching his channel which is mainly about recovery from alcoholism.

Audiobook

Pros:
I did not just listen to it, I was THERE with Stu. I experienced what he experienced, felt what he felt, I felt his awe, his joy, his pain, anger and every setback in visceral detail. The authors way with words, his vurnerability and his voice made this audiobook a very intimate experience. I am not afraid to say I have ever listened to something that immersive and personal.

Cons:

I can't help but feel that some of the encounters are made up to spice up the story or at least slightly or massively exaggerated. I do not want to do the author injustice and would happily give him the benefit of the doubt, but this little "come on, that did not really happen" with a smile and a wink is there.

There are some technical/editing issues too. A couple of times the audio abruptly cuts off and some other part of the story starts somewhere halfway. Throws you out of the immersion, but all in all just a little inconvenience.

Conclusion:

I wish Stuart all the best in his recovery and with his YT channel and really, really, REALLY hope he is working on another book or two because I am sure this guy has some stories to tell. And with his voice I could listen to this man reciting a telephone book for hours and not get bored

cheers

I was there with Stu
