… You've Gone Too Far This time, Sir! by Danny Bent.

'Have you ever woken up in the sultry heat of the morning, your hair and beard teeming with maggots, and then had potatoes picked out of your ears? Have you ever felt the cold barrel of a semi automatic gun against your forehead?When Danny Bent cycled 15,000 kilometres from the UK to India to raise money for ActionAid, it was a decision that took twenty years and one minute. For twenty years he had wanted to do something to raise money for charity. The one minute was when as their teacher he was put on the spot by his pupils and declared that the means was by bike, and he was going to India'

I couldn't put this down once I'd started. It is a very good, non-stop read.

I bought it on Kindle too. I also ordered it from ActionAid so the people Danny was working with would benefit from my purchase.

Hey lovely people,

I'm Danny Bent : ) Thanks for chatting about my book and buying it in any form. We've just smashed the Kindle Price down for a promotional period so if you haven't bought it yet, or if you know anyone who hasn't let them know - amazon.com or .co.uk

It's such a lovely feeling to know people are enjoying the book. I'm lucky to have lived 2 dreams. Have the adventure and write the book!! Ama-with loads of-Zing

I sent 5 books round the world on travels of their own and set up a website www.wherearedannybentsbooks.com for people who find these books - to let everyone know where they are and how they're looking - hopefully sending a pic. You can also let me know about YOUR book - promote any good cause, race, website that you fancy.

Thanks and Live your dream,

Dannyx

Nice to hear from you, Danny!

I thought it was damn cheap last night when I downloaded it for the princely sum of 70p. I'm looking forward to reading it as soon as I finish my current book.

Just finished reading Danny's book - throroughly enjoyed every page! Highly recommended.


The Kindle edition could do with a bit of proof-reading though - 'steal' used instead of steel, 'heroine' for heroin, 'breaks' for brakes, 'vain' for vein and so on. It looks like an auto-correct problem when the book was converted into a digital format.
