Review: `Just a Little Run Around the World' is Rosie Swale-Pope's account of her journey around the world on foot in aid of cancer awareness. It is wonderfully written and completely engaging and her descriptive language often transports you to the various points around the globe with her. One main point of this book that stood out is her positivity and ability to see the best in most situations. Despite broken ribs, frostbite, attempted robbery and whole host of other exploits, Rosie manages to put a positive spin on things and keep going. Another thing that stood out is the human kindness she received along her route. People went out of their way to assist her and help her achieve her goals and in a world that seems at times frightening and hostile it is great to read about the goodness that is out there as well. I have to agree with another reviewer that this needed to be better edited and proof read and I too would have loved a map of her route. I had to get my battered atlas down to plot the route as I read and considering most other travel books provide a map of some description, this was sorely missing in this book. That minor point aside, this is till a great book to read about one woman's determination and the amazing things she experiences on her staggering and impressive run around the world. If you enjoy adventure or travel books then this is well worth checking out. Feel free to check out my blog which can be found on my profile page.
