Summary: Keeps Me Thinking for Weeks After Reading
Review: I have traveled myself around-the-world, and to over 85 countries, in addition to living overseas for 10 years. I wish I could have read Brad's book BEFORE traveling, and I would have used some of his ideas in talking to people. But whether you are a world traveler, or never travel anywhere, he has such interesting conversations and insights. Reading this book could change your life. Now that I've finished it, I plan to re-read it again very soon, as well as choose it in my bookclub next time my turn comes around. One of the best books I've ever read. I just can't stop thinking about it.

Summary: One of the best books I've ever read!
Review: I haven't read a book this engrossing since I finished the James Herriot series 10 years ago! Like Herriot, Newsham humbly shares the people he met, elevating them with great respect and human dignity along the way. I simply HATED to reach the end, but was compelled to read "just this next chapter" until the journey finally ended. Brad so deftly describes the exact emotions one feels while traveling. I found myself aching to pack a bag myself and hop on a plane to places I never knew I wanted to go. As I read about each person he met, I found myself wishing that "this one" will be the person Brad invites, each one for their own reasons. I even wished for people who didn't make it on his list! By the end of the book, however, I was thoroughly convinced that it didn't really matter if anyone was left out, because I had such appreciation for the world they already lived in. This book really moved me. It was so refreshing to travel with such a humble, appreciative guy like Brad Newsham. I hope someday when I am in San Francisco to find myself in the back of his cab (if he's still driving), and ask HIM "what is the best thing that ever happened to you?" I have recommended this book to everyone I've talked to, and am sending it to my mother, who recently told me, "Sometimes a good book is almost as good as a vacation." This is one book that definitely is.

Summary: LOVED IT
Review: I just re-read this book and loved it all over again. Perfect for anyone who has traveled and longs to travel more. I could really empathise with the author's near-painful lust for seeing new places. The book is insightful, thoughtful, warm and funny. It has a beautiful and heartwarming surprise ending when you discover what happens after he invites that mystery person home to see the US. Highly recommended!

Summary: Needs An Editor!!
Review: I looked forward to this book because I thought it was a great gimmick--a guy goes to find someone to take home. I love the concept but the writing needs A LOT of work, and an editor!!

Summary: A great find!
Review: I loved this book! It was difficult for me to put it down and I kept my entire household updated throughout my read as to where Brad was traveling now. So many of my friends have joined me in expressing an interest in taking some time off from work and our daily routine to travel and see the world. I will pass this book on to them for inspiration. I'd recommend this to anyone with a love of adventure and travel. He really makes you want to drop everything and head out the door...

Summary: Well Written
Review: I must disagree with the few reviews that state this book is poorly written. I found the writing style very clear and captivating. Perhaps these comments originate from some kind of snobbery towards taxi drivers !! I can't put my finger on exactly why, however I am slightly uncomfortable with the concept of the book. Having said this, I found the book to be one of the more enjoyable travel books I have read.

Summary: Loved this book!
Review: I purchased this book just before I left on a long vacation. It was a wonderful companion. While I was safely sitting poolside, I could read about Brad's wonderful adventures throughout the world. I am looking forward to the next addition! Thank you, Brad!

Summary: a great book
Review: I read Brad at a chapter or two a day. This made me feel like I was taking the trip with him. These are places I'll probably never go, but his descriptions make me feel like I was there. Very, very good.
