 jupiters travels July 30, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Contnet of trip around world found to be good however the way it is written it gets extremely boring and at time hard to understand. Have read "Long Way Round" and found that book to be great, but "Jupiters Travels" was dull.
 Fantastic journey May 24, 2007

What can you say about "Jupiters Travels" that hasn't already been said? It's the quintessential motorcycle travel book, a book that inspired many men to undertake similar adventures. (Just watch Long Way Round or read Motorcycle Therapy: A Canadian Adventure in Central America to enjoy the stories of two such men.) Ted Simon will make you shake your head in wonder of his good fortune (at times) and his calm assurance that all will be well under circumstances that would make most men abandon hope. Well written and thought provoking, this is a must read for any motorcycle adventure enthusiast.
Great book but not the greatest April 25, 2007

I read a lot great reviews of this book and I guess my expectations were too high. It is a nice book, a little bit difficult to understand with many complex words. But who understands the brits anyway? It is good literature with all sorts of tales and adventures in the whole world. It is funny that the same things can/will happen to you if you travel around the world, but 40 years later! The world didn't change much after all. This book will keep you reading until you finish it because of the great detail of the adventures. Nice book, worth the price.

If you're enjoy taking a trip on a motorcycle or you're planning such a trip, check out this man's adventures on a bike. Surprises around each bend!
Sorry, but this book was boring March 12, 2007

I give it four stars because of content, but as much as I love reading about motorcycle trips, this book was boring. It was an interesting story, but I don't think he (or his ghost writer) was a very good writer. Sorry Ted.
