Well this book really took some reading, and there was many a time when I wanted to give up but I kept coming back to it, it has a certain something that keeps pulling you back.

I am not going to even attempt to go into detail about the content or story line but all I will say is really its at least two books in one, a story about a father and son attempting to connect and a book about the philosophy of “quality” in all our lives.

Ok if you have read the book you will know that’s way to simple but I hate to be the one that spoils the book, and it is a great book, its not a classic for nothing, and although it’s hard work at time I think its worth the effort to read and it really did make me think.

So if you want to have your mind expanded, mine felt quite stretched at times, I think it even broke once, this is a great book to read.

It also really made me want to ride a bike across the USA, but hey I wanted to do that anyway.

If you know me you know how much if a fan of MotoGP I am and I have always been a fan of Valentino Rossi if he is not the man I am following in particular this year, Hoping for Casey to get his title back this year but I think both of them are outstanding riders.

So what did i think of his book, well it was pretty easy to read, but in my opinion it is really more of a rant about leaving Honda than really about who Valentino is, there is some good insights in there into his life and who he is. I must admit in the first pages i had wondered who this guy thought he was with some pretty egotistical statements but in the end It hasn’t made me like him any less if not really making me feel like I know him more.

So this get a half a thumbs up from me, worth the read, because it is easy to read but not in the must read category in my opinion.
