What the hell is wrong with these reviews and what is all the hype about? To say that this is the most overrated book I've ever read feels like an understatement. The writing style is childish for the most part, abusing of conversational tag lines like "I guess you could say" to a ridiculous extent. It doesn't even feel like a real travel book, as most of the book develops among bar jobs in Britain, and he only takes a couple of weeks off to travel here and there. The book cover feels to me like...

Inspiring and beautifully written story. I love traveling and it takes a lot of courage to leave everything behind and just travel the world at a young age
Adam made the dream of going on a long adventure more attainable for me.
I think the second book should be more interesting since he will be traveling arround Asia starting from Cambodia.

I read this book to continue my travel memoir phase I seem to be going through.

Things I enjoyed about this book:
- His exploration of the Kibbutz
- The discussions with Ali Jeddah
- His outlook on middle eastern countries

Things I did not enjoy about this book:
- I did find myself clashing with the Author's personality and life choices
- A lot of the story was focused on what it was like living in bars

This was terrible ... not sure how it got such high reviews. Writing style was boring for the most part and the story never really led anywhere. It was also not inspiring or motivational in the least.

This book was pretty good. The writing style isn't what one would immediately expect to see and I liked that. In my opinion it helped the reader be closer to the writer in a sense. It was enjoyable.

I enjoyed the way the book is written: we feel like we are near the author and watching what is happening with the feelings that go with it. Looking forward to the book 2 for more adventures and less "routine" style story - even if those made up who the writer is today.

Exciting and inspiring. Can't wait for the second book!

A fabulous first installment of the story of Adams world tour. The writing style is engaging, unique and refreshingly direct. I dare say, having had the pleasure of knowing Adam (the author) during this (wild) period of his life, he has done a brilliant job of conveying a unique and wonderful insight into his life, travels and experiences in this book. It’s a must read I think.So looking forward to the next book in series. Hopefully with some of those great pictures you've taken of your travels,...

“…ravished my mind and transported me…”A book with a mind-gripping experience I have never imagined reading. The World At Large has given me a new insight of the diversities that can surround one’s life. The story ravished my mind and transported me into the author’s world where it were as if I could relate to, feel, understand and experience what was taking place in each page. The use of words, plot and everything about this story was indeed fascinating, profound and adventurous. I have learnt ...

Supper writing skill. Awesome adventure story. I enjoy every line of this book.
