Steve doesn't do trucks. Steve doesn't do tents. And Steve doesn't do toilets without doors, or walls. When there’s a mix up at the tour company, Steve swaps the luxury Spanish trip he can't take for an African overland truck tour going through countries he’s never heard of and never wanted to visit. Steve soon realises truck travel in Africa isn't as romantic as it sounds and questions why he is sharing a small tent with a large Welshman when he could be curled up in a bed with his girlfriend, Sofia? To see Sofia again Steve only has to survive on a truck for five months, with eight other passengers and a grumpy driver, as it bounces through fifteen countries down the western coast of Africa. What could possibly go wrong? Diary of a Man Being Driven Around Africa on a Truck with Some Other People is Steve's story as he endures a five-month trip down the west coast of Africa on an overland truck. Steve records the journey as he passes through Morocco, Mauritania, Mali, Burkina Faso, Ghana, Togo, Benin, Nigeria, Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, The Democratic Republic of Congo, Angola, Namibia and South Africa while he copes with his fellow travellers and deals with the girlfriend he left behind.

I guess the moral to this story might be: if a travel agency messes up your reservation and offers you a dirt-cheap 5-month tour through Africa, think twice before taking it.If you want a really fun read, pick this one up. It's written mostly in short, humorous snippets, although the book itself is fairly long (every one of the 157 days in Africa has its own set of snippets).Basic premise: guy trying to decide what to do with his life, and most importantly whether to commit 100% to his girlfriend, decides to go on a trip to Spain. He finds out that the travel agency has screwed up and, much to the ire of his girlfriend, decides to take the company up on its offer of a just-as-cheap 5-month tour of western Africa. On a truck. With some other people.The "other people", especially the ornery truck driver Craig, are all just as funny as the narrator (Steve) who struggles throughout the journey not only figuring out what he wants to do with his life, but grappling with a myriad of other issues. Every time the decrepit truck rumbles across a border, he's hauled in for investigating because he looks just like a wanted criminal. One truck mate constantly tries to seduce him. He's plagued with African sicknesses, a few ouchy accidents, and a lot of culture shock.This books worked for me because even though the writing is deliberately short and choppy, it's crazy-funny in places and at least amusing in the other spots. It is a bit on the long side, though (at least for my limited attention-span), and doesn't really go anywhere (except through Africa, of course) and ends rather abruptly. I had to read the book over a couple of weeks; it was always entertaining, but in small doses, I couldn't quite read it non-stop. But it is quirky and funny and will take the reader to a ton of African countries and through a myriad of wacky experiences.

I took a chance and downloaded it. Well, was I surprised - I loved it! I could hardly believe this was a self-published tome, it reeks of quality and professionalism. Great writing, characterisation, setting and plot. Steve finds himself through no fault of his own on a truck with a number of fabulously drawn characters as they embark on a five-month trawl through Africa. With temptation provided by a fellow female traveler, Steve tries to stay true to his girlfriend in London and you will need to read it if you want to know if he is successful or not. I was addicted from the start and cannot recommend this book highly enough. I will certainly be looking for other work from this author and am secretly hoping for a follow-up that will serve up more of the same. Humorous, taut and with such a wealth of interesting detail, you could hardly be anything than highly entertained! Buy it, you won't be disappointed!

This book gets its subject matter from the human dynamics that come up on a “back of the truck” tour through Africa. OK, I have been on one of these trips, albeit through the northeast rather than west, and there is a lot of reality flitting amongst the laughs here. There are maybe even a few astute cultural observations and contrasts ferreted in as well – but mainly it’s just funny. Very funny I thought.
