Charley Boorman À 4 Free download
A great read. So relatable. Have met Charley once and he's every bit the guy you see on the TV. Here's an inspiring, very real story about getting back in the saddle after a major accident. Lots of funny anecdotes too. The back story tells you so much about what makes Charley 'tick'. Well recommended. Long Way Back Fairly short book revolving around the huge off Boorman had when he badly broke his leg and a few other bits and pieces. As he takes us through the recovery he adds life events from his childhood all the way through which to be honest are genuinely interesting.To be honest I assumed that because his father is a well known director and of course Charley a familiar face on TV (and a lesser known one in a few movies) he would live the life of a rich spoiled kid. In actual fact it rather seems that most of his life he has been skint and actually a hard working bloke doing anything to keep the wolves from the door including working as a painter and decorator. Fair play to the bloke.The other thing is the genuine love of motorbikes. Once again I did rather suspect that he was a simply a part time rider that use two wheels for effect when in actual fact from being a small child he has been motorbike mad.He does make it clear on a number of occasions that he is dyslexic which, given how competently this book is written suggests that a pro ghost writer did the actual wordsmithing. That being said I'm sure Mr. Boorman gave the speech to the words as it does come across as being genuinely his work if compared to his TV persona.It's also an interesting glimpse into the rather exotic world of film and celebrity but not from an A lister with an agenda but from someone who grew up around it but isn't actually part of it.Overall a great read for a holiday book. Long Way Back Really enjoyed it. Seems like a decent bloke. Long Way Back Exactly where does one start, when you've come across such a treasure. I have my short list of life's favorites; Bikes, Movies, Books, Places, etc., and this book just made the top of my list. As I sit here trying to put into words just how amazing this read is, I'm at a loss on how exactly to do it justice. What I can say is this, being a motorcyclist myself, and lover of all things two wheeled, I COULD NOT put this book down. The first day I received it from , I started reading it. And at 320 pages, I found myself over half way through the book before forcing myself to put it aside so that I could go to bed. But truth be told, I didn't want to. I felt as though through this entire read that I was right there, right by Charley's side. I could picture everything so vividly based on what he had written. Its just such an amazing read. I own both of the Long Way Series on DVD, and have eagerly watched each one from beginning to end no less than a dozen times each. I never get tired of either, even though I know them both by heart. I had the privilege and honor of meeting Charley once a few years back at IMS in Long Beach, CA. I realize he must have met hundreds, if not thousands of fans that weekend, but it truly made the show for me to get to meet him. I would have loved to hit the Irish bar across the street from the convention center, and talk bikes all day long. In addition to being a huge motorcycle enthusiast, I've had two major crashes throughout my own life, and could relate to Charley's story in so many ways, and on so many different levels. From the hospital and the surgeries, to the external fixator and physical therapy, I've been their myself first hand. Maybe thats one of the reasons this book hit home with me. The bottom line is this, if you're a fan of Charley, or of his adventures, consider this book a must read. You will not be disappointed. And in closing, if your eyes should ever come across this review here on Charley, I would just like to say thank you. It's truly one of, if not the best book I've read to date. Long Way Back A good background read on Charlie. A mixture of tales of some key events and his road to rehabilitation on his motorcycle. Long Way Back
