Is That Thing Diesel? MP3 CD – Audiobook, December 1, 2015

I love the style and the personalities that come through.... Paul describes it how it is ...21st Century Barry Crump

The book is written in true easy flowing Paul Carter style but like his journey started out strong with good detail, yarns about characters along the way, meeting old friends etc. But the last third went way too quickly possibly a reflection that it was a real struggle to finish the trip and that the stuffing had (literally) been knocked out of him. Having said that I still enjoyed his book as I have enjoyed his others but couldnt help but wondering if a little more could have been written on the Darwin to Adelaide run.

The description of his adventurous ride is so real. I have ridden much of the territory Paul describes but 40 years ago when the roads were more indifferent. His bike so unique and an adventure in itself. My advantage has been that he made me relive my adventures from those bigone days, including being joined by a dozen so called bikeys who turned out to be just ordinary folk. Any one considering purchasine this work might be well advised to get the audio version read by Paul himself

Excellent, keeps you going back for more.Interesting read where do you get such a loving and caring wife to let you try and kill yourself.Opps got one of them. shows the old addage dont judge a book by its cover, Read it you wont put it down very easily.

Thoroughly enjoyed it. Like the down to earth, honest style.

A good adventure story not as funny as some of his other books but a good light read afternoon well spent

I thought it was more like someone's personal dairy, interspersed with lots of expletives. I have read a few motorcycle travel books, and this was by far the worst.I would not read another of his books.

I preferred the earlier autobiographical stuff. Just as many close passes by the grim reaper but it felt very thin and uninteresting all the same.

An easy to read, funny and interesting travel book. Not a pure motorcycle book in the sense of an Lawrence Bransby type. The writing is more about the journey than the technicalities of motorcycling. Well worth a read though and one you'd get through quickly.

Paul Carter is a very funny man. This book is cut from the same cloth as his other stories. I feel sorry for his family though....

A good read with some real insights into the country and its people but definitely heavy towards bike enthusiasts; would not re-read for that reason but did come away with much respect for his courage and perseverance in attempting such a grueling ride.

Excellent reading
