Blind Curves Unusual Journey Reinvent
Blind Curves is an excellent travel memoir. It reminds me not to be afraid of the unknown and to attack challenges in life. Motorcycle riders can experience extreme joy and sudden sorrow as well. Linda Crill went on a ten day 2500 mile road trip through the Pacific Northwest with three other people. I really enjoyed the friendship that develops between these people. I admire her accomplishment because of how difficult it is. Crill is very honest in explaining how difficult is to do things like shifting gears and braking on a motorcycle. I really admire the coordination it takes to operate a motorcycle. Motorcycle riding requires mental and physical concentration. This is a theme that Crill communicates well. This road trip helps Linda rediscover happiness after her husband passes away from cancer. She experiences ten days of mostly pure happiness. A sense of prolonged happiness is something I am always trying to achieve.
I like reading about things like riding through snow and up hills and mountains. This is because I have a physical disability. I will probably never get to do these things by myself. There is a visual quality in Linda Crill's writing. She makes me feel like I am riding a motorcycle with her. I would love to see and do some of things that she describes in this book. I would love to visit the town of Leavenworth in Washington State just to eat some German food. I would love to see the giant redwood trees in Eureka and the beautiful Crater Lake in Oregon. This book is beautifully illustrated by an artist named Kevin Miller. I love his illustrations of a biker woman with long flowing hair on a motorcycle. There is another illustration of a computer blowing up. I like the caption under the illustration that failures facilitate change. This is a saying I will remember the next time I fail at something. The illustrations in the book really compliment the text well. Blind Curves is an excellent read.

BalasHapusDevastated by the death of her husband, 57-year-old Linda Crill initially tried to follow the experts advice in rebuilding her life. However, no matter how much she tried, the advice didn't work for her so Linda decided to face her fears and do something radical - learn how to ride a motorcycle and take a ten day motorcycle trip in the Pacific Northwest.
BalasHapus"Blind Curves" is an interesting look at how one woman decided to take charge of her life and put aside her, sorrow, fears, and inexperience and learned not only how to ride a motorcycle but how strong she really is. While the heart of this book is about Linda's experience in learning how to ride the motorcycle and her road trip, there are many lessons to be learned in reading the book. I love the way Crill does this - while the book is labeled as a travel memoir it could also be labeled as a self-help book. Crill never preaches at the reader and tries to change him/her, instead she talks about how she worked to change herself. In facing her fears she also encourages readers to face their own fears. I like the way she references Blind Curves - not only in the roads she travels but life itself. The motorcycle aspects are interesting to read - I can't say I'm going to run out and learn how to ride a motorcycle and head across the country on a ride but I loved reading about how Crill did it and the various places she visited. It certainly got me thinking about having more adventure in my life and as Crill points out, that adventure doesn't have to be a big thing just a different thing.
"Blind Curves" is a nice book about a woman's attempt to reinvent herself and it may help many readers do the same.
