One of the funniest books about sport ever written
*Sunday Times*
Bill Bryson on two wheels... A one-liner every other line...not so
much witty travelogue as self-examination in a joke-heavy trial by
fire
*Independent*
Moore is a talented and funny writer who, through a combination of
slapstick, absurd simile and a healthy suspicion of French
civilisation, gives us something to laugh at on almost every
page
*Daily Telegraph*
Moore unleashes a high-energy torrent of astute observation and
hilarious self-deprecation. Hailed as the new Bill Bryson, he is in
fact a writer of considerably more substance... The jokes come
thick and fast
*Irish Times*
Hilarious and inspiring... It is embarrassingly laugh-out-loud
*Daily Express*
