What a trek!
Spencer pens a grand adventurous title in Far Sweeter Than Honey: Searching for Meaning on a Bicycle. This is the first book of this author's that I've read, and I've discovered, it's the author's debut book. The title gives insight into what is inside this journey on a bicycle from England to India. The miles don't tell the story, what he encounters on these miles is the story. The journey is written as if the reader were right beside him, seeing the world through his eyes. It's not just a learning experience, it's a cultural experience, and one that will stay with him for a lifetime. His words paint a picture of his adventure, and it also gives his perspective, something that makes him never take life for granted. I look forward to reading more by this author. This book is a definite recommendation by Amy's Bookshelf Reviews.
