Awesome, awesome book. This treasure joins about three dozen other adventure books in my library and is one of only a few that I have read twice. It's honest, funny, intense and thouroughly entertaining. Thank you for sharing your story Stevie!!

Well Stevie Smith did, and his book describes the true story of how he and a friend set out on a seemingly impossible adventure to avoid the tedium of office life and do something truly unique. The book is a fantastic read, written from the heart and describing an adventure that no sane person would even dream about. A must read.

I am in awe over the accomplishment of Pedalling to Hawaii, not merely the challenges faced by Stevie Smith and Jason Lewis with the 360 Expedition, but the beauty of Stevie's writing. His mastery of language, human insight peppered with such an array of emotions spilling over the pages, yields such delicate and tender storytelling. It flows perfectly.

I thank Stevie for the experience the book has given me. An enlightening, heart warming and inspiring read.

You don't need to take time off work, pack a bunch of gear, get frustrated by red tape, or raise a bunch of money (never enough)... Just read Steve's book and experience what it takes to pedal a boat 111 days across the Atlantic, 53 days across the Pacific and some incredible stores about the land crossings on bikes, inline skates, or hike to get from the UK and across the Island of Hawaii. And, you get to stay tuned to the ongoing trek still underway! Even if all you read are these reviews, remember... they're telling kids around the world as they go about what they've done and what anyone can do if you just pick up your feet and do it. No massive advance or follwing team of supporters. Steve and Jason aren't mutant macho athletic thrill seekers. They're regular guys with a shared vision that Steve has splayed his soul in 'Pedalling to Hawaii' so we can all know what it takes, and dream about what is possible.
