Such a great book. Michelle was diagnosed with a brain tumor...instead of feeling sorry for herself, she and her husband, Ed, embarked on a voyage around the globe for 105 days. Each page in the book is written like a journal entry of their travels and life aboard the ship. There are photos on each page, along with the coordinates for that particular day and a quote. There are several layers to this book/story - (1) the travelogue; (2) Michelle's diagnosis and treatment(s); and (3) the treasure hunt. I have not yet embarked on deciphering the treasure hunt as I've already loaned the book out to someone else to read. While reading the book, I felt like I was there with them in every port of call and through the ship's daily activities, including fighting for the ability to do laundry! I highly recommend this book to everyone.

A wonderful insight
I grew up supporting Liverpool FC and do to this day. I remember the highs of the eighties and the lows of the nineties. This candid and frank collection of interviews with both players and managers delves into the reasons behind Liverpools gradual decline in English football in the nineties. Its a turthful behind the scenes diagnosis and autopsy on a Liverpool side who failed to be the dominant force that they were in the Eighties. From player ego's, mis-managment and an unwillingness to modernise this bares it all and is well worth a read if you have read the first insalment (The Red Machine). There is also a third book entitled Ring of Fire which i shall also be reading. A very good read and pute to bed some of the myths associated with 'The Spice Boys' :)
