Neil hits the road for the R30 tour and he takes his BMW cycle, his friends, and his journal with him. In his journey, Neil faces many challenges on and off the stage and tells the reader everything. He gives much insight to Rush, fans, the various countries he visited, and throws a few drummer jokes in for fun
 The one thing that stuck out with this book was learning that Neil has heart-felt stories behind his lyrics, and reading this wonderful book only strengthened my opinion that he is the best lyricist ever. A great read by a very interesting and talented man.
9/10
 Also- I am now reading Ghost RIder by Neil- As soon as I finished this book- I HAD to go out and pick up anothoer one of his books.

Seconded. I wondered how he got through all those tragedies alive.
It's also kind of a guidebook for Vapor Trails. ------------- "One likes to believe in the freedom of Music" - Neil Peart, The Spirit of Radio |

I bought Ghost Rider at the R30 concert. I have read about half of it. I have a hard time finding time to read so I would only read a little bit at a time. Unfortunately, I don't know what I did with it the last time that I put it down. When I went to Toronto last weekend, I wanted to bring it with me to read during my down time, but I couldn't find it. Anyhow, enough about my disorganized mess.  I found it to be an interesting book and third the heart bleeding for him. One of these days I will find the book and finish it.
At the concert last night, I bought his Masked Rider in Africa book. Hopefully, I will get around to reading that before the next tour.  -------------
