Unflinchingly honest, vividly told, funny, true, fascinating, exciting---Pacific Dream is all these things. John writes with a candor that's shockingly fresh and real.

It's as if the reader walks the trail with him, and he makes every step of his trek from Mexico to Canada as exciting as it is surprising.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5I did not enjoy this quite as much as John's first book. It was sort of a bummer to go through is divorce and personal problems.I see it was "part of the journey" though. The off the trail events had a large effect on the trails outcome.Still interesting and makes me want to put my pack on again.
