Although I'm an author by trade, I read every day. Here's my 5* review for 'The Furthest Points' by Andy Hewitt.
As a non-biker, this type of travel log wouldn't normally be my thing - but I thought I'd give it a try anyway and I must honestly say I found 'The Furthest Points' to be an enjoyable read. I've only visited Spain and Portugal on business or for a short holidays, so I wasn't expecting to find so much of interest in the narrative, but Andy's passion for the history and culture has a way of drawing the reader into the story. His love for biking and his wife Kim is infectious, although it's unclear which comes first - I think it was Kim, but only because she wins points for being a biker too! Although the storyline sometimes flaps around like washing on a windy day, changing tack to visit fascinating historic tales and witty anecdotes, these diversions only serve to enhance the readability of this captivating tale, providing something interesting for everyone. And of course there is plenty to keep the bikers turning the pages with glee, including a 42-step guide to how to mount and start a bike.
Andy Hewitt is a talented writer and 'Furthest Points' is a good read, well worth a look.
