I just finished 'Channeling Biker Bob, Heart of a Warrior' by Nik Colyer. First of all, it is a book every guy should read. But I'm mystified as to how the author is going to ever write another book as good as this one. The book not only tells a very engaging story, it also presents a point of view that more men need to be exposed to. Entertaining, yet educational. Controversial, yet not over the edge.
The book had a beginning that kept me reading. Once I opened the package and took out your book I thought I'd read the first page or two. But the plot was so engaging I couldn't stop. That's not fair! I didn't have time to read more than a few minutes. Chance's encounter with being given a ride on this Harley really drew me in. What in the hell's going to happen next?
The book had great segues. Many different scenes that had different flavors. All were entertaining. None were boring. The desert Harley-Davison ride. The search for Nick. The fights with his wife Renee. Renee's conversations with her shrink. The talk show television interviews. Stewart on the job. Stewart at home. The book just kept on getting better and better.
But the message to men woven through the story is what really makes this a masterpiece. Oh yeah, something's wrong with the book? The thing's too short. Most of the fiction I read these days is action-adventure and mystery. Great plots. Pure entertainment. No message. The Biker Bob book has a great message along with a great storyline. It tells men about getting back in touch with their masculinity. It was really a refreshing read.
