Going the Wrong Way by Chris Donaldson is a wonderful memoir that will also entertain fans of travel. When Chris leaves Belfast on his café racing Moto.       Guzzi at twenty-one, he has no destination, and little does he know that his bike won’t just take him places but on a journey of self-discovery, as he travels.        over land and sea, by boat or by train. The travels will take readers across countries and continents, including the Middle East, Africa, Latin America,                North America, Central America, and others. It is a tale of courage in which the author encounters different cultures. He will be misunderstood, treated.              differently, welcomed in places where the immigration officer thinks he has emigrated to Syria, and experience more. He faces interesting situations at.              times, and heartbreaking ones, too. This coming-of-age narrative is exhilarating and his experiences as he travels through the Third World are hilarious.          
T    The author writes in a style that is gripping and a voice that is observant and as readers follow the narrative, they get glimpses of the world he traveled.              through. and the cultures and social situations in different places. There are fun and surprising moments; there are the challenging ones, and there are.            some that are breathtaking. Overall, it is an exhilarating ride that allows Chris to discover himself as he comes into contact with different people and.                  diverse cultures. Going the Wrong Way is an exciting story that isn’t lacking in humor and the strong narrative voice gripped me from the first page. Chris.        Donaldson’s memoir made me want to pick up a backpack and hit the road.  

       Great read very well written I was gripped from the start and couldn't put it down had me in stiches but I could relate to every thing being on your own in a.         foreign country on a big motorcycle . Absolutely love the book one of the best I've read

I.     I loved this book, I read it in about a week! It would normally take me a month. It gives you a great insight to Chris' motivation, ups and downs of a great.             trip. The sailing voyage I found really interesting and the comparison to the now modern world that is sailing, hi-tech, hi-value ventures. I think I am safe.           in saying on Chris budget back then this trip would be unachievable due to political and social changes now. Thoroughly enjoyable read. You don't have.           to be into bikes to understand this adventure!  

I.    I thoroughly enjoyed this book. Being a fellow native of Northern Ireland I understood fully the references to the "troubles". Chris certainly had true grit and       determination to go on his journey. What memories he must have. I finished the book sat on a local beach in the sunshine and read the last few pages with       a big smile on my face.  
       Loved the book!!!!!! 

       This book deserves to become a classic. I couldn't put it down. A young Befast lad takes off on motorcycle adventure on a Moto Guzzi Le Mans, pre.                 Internet days, no sat nav, on roads in Africa and South America that would test a modern touring bike. All on a shoestring, and going through countries.             that were very volatile at the time. Some travel books ebb and flow with the mood of the writer, but this book flows beautifully and you really feel you're.             there with the guy. A great read.
