Review
"What has resulted from [Graham Mackintosh's] unsuspected determination and stamina is a truly uplifting account of what one person alone against the world can accomplish. It is also one of the finest pieces of travel writing of recent times."   -  Irish Independent

"Could well become an enduring classic....Always vastly entertaining, this is one of the finest pieces of travel writing to appear in years and certainly one of the best books on Baja ever published. Don't miss this title; it's that good."   -  Coast Book Review Service

"An engagingly humorous and ultimately inspiring chronicle of high adventure."   -  Stockton (Calif.) Record

"'[A] can't-wait-to-turn-the-page' story"   -  San Diego Log

"Mr. Mackintosh is not much of a writer, but - in his cutoffs and tube socks, nursing a chronic sunburn - he makes a great traveling companion."   -  New York Times Book Review
