Over The Hill

BEYOND THE EDGE may give you a firm testimony that you are "OVER THE HILL" - and quite content to be there. Or are you?Reading Mike Dennison's book inspired me to take an introspective journey and just make sure that life hasn't become too routine, learning hasn't come to a standstill, dreams haven't been lost, and adventure isn't only possible, but pending

Go for it!

Haven't we all had the desire to just chuck it all, throw a pack on our backs and take off. No more alarm clocks, freeways, boring meetings and the million other distractions that keep us from our adventerous instincts. Well Mike did it. Better yet, he takes us all along with him in his fast paced narrative. Without moving from our armchairs we can share both his joyous and trying experiences. This is definitely a book to be revisited whenever the unrequited wanderlust hits.

Let's Go

Beyond the Edge is so exhilarating, it makes you want to strap on a backpack and say to Mike, "Let's go!"The author has the ability to breathe life into his words; you want to forget doing what you should, sink into a chair and travel with him to places you'll never see without his help.He transports you to a world as seen through the eyes of someone who loves it.

Fascinating tale of someone who pushes his comfort zones

Mike Dennison (Dr. Pain to those who know him) is someone who likes to push his own comfort zones as well as those he meets. This book's easy reading style rivets you as he portrays his encounters of excitement and danger. On a budget that would make a homeless person cringe, Mike packed more adventure into his trip than the average person would experience in 5 lifetimes. This book is a must read for those who want to know what it is like to explore other countries in an offbeat fashion. Read it and experience some of the real culture and people of foreign lands. It will invigorate, rejuvenate and challenge you to pursue some of your long forgotten dreams.
