That book was gripping as one of his friends actually died on that walk due to extreme heat. As I got further into this book it dawned on me that Levison Wood also wrote a book I read, Walking The Nile. I read it in less than two days as I could not put it down. But as it goes, when one buys a book for another, it was not his mood at the moment and it sat unread on the shelf until I picked it up.

Penguin would enjoy reading it because it takes place in Central America and Mexico which is an area he has always been interested in. I picked this book up a few months ago at a local independent bookshop because I fell in love with the cover. I live vicariously through the authors and feel every step they take. I love travel books about walking across the world, bicycling or motorbiking.
