What made him do it? Was it the stifling, dead-end corporate job or the unfaithful fiancée?

Whatever the reason, one fed-up, always unnamed twenty-something decides to kiss the rat-race good-bye and take to the road to find himself and his dreams.
As he rides on his motorcycle on a journey of self-discovery, the traveler becomes a nomadic vagabond seeking enlightenment-and finding it in a series of remarkable encounters, a modern counterculture and a fellow wanderer.
Through friendship, death and the freedoms found outside of middle-American values, the traveler learns life's most important lesson: It's not the destination that is important, but what happens along the way.

I really enjoyed this. I was able to be transported to places I couldn't be in real life, and I was able to like the main character and see part of myself in him. The thoughts throughout the book were, well, thought provoking.

All in all, a good book.

Overall Rating: 9/10.

Happy reading.
