Ilustration As Books The World at Large (Carpe Diem, #1)
The following is an account of my journeys throughout the world. What started off as a couple of months to get away for an adventure turned into a ten-year journey of learning, enlightenment, hard times, and moments that will never leave me, including times of joy, sorrow, love, pain, near-death experiences, and experiences nearly worth dying for. During that time, I travelled to over 60 countries, set foot on every continent, including Antarctica; worked in over half a dozen countries; and saw relics from ancient civilisations and technological marvels of the modern world. I saw the highest peak on earth, the lowest valley, and so much in between. I visited places where they had never seen a white man before and countries ruled by governances ranging from democracies to theocracies to military regimes. I saw the cruelty that humanity can have for each other as well as the love that can bind us all. I fell in love, had my heart broken a few times, and broke a few hearts of my own. ~Carpe DiemPresent Of Books The World at Large (Carpe Diem, #1)

A fabulous first installment of the story of Adams world tour. The writing style is engaging, unique and refreshingly direct. I dare say, having had the pleasure of knowing Adam (the author) during this (wild) period of his life, he has done a brilliant job of conveying a unique and wonderful insight into his life, travels and experiences in this book. Its a must read I think.So looking forward to the next book in series. Hopefully with some of those great pictures you've taken of your travels,I admire his courage to go against the norms and to travel the world. However, he sometimes comes across as a little too cocky, which is off-putting
This was terrible ... not sure how it got such high reviews. Writing style was boring for the most part and the story never really led anywhere. It was also not inspiring or motivational in the least.
Exciting and inspiring. Can't wait for the second book!
I enjoyed the way the book is written: we feel like we are near the author and watching what is happening with the feelings that go with it. Looking forward to the book 2 for more adventures and less "routine" style story - even if those made up who the writer is today.
This book was pretty good. The writing style isn't what one would immediately expect to see and I liked that. In my opinion it helped the reader be closer to the writer in a sense. It was enjoyable.*won on GoodReads First Reads*
ravished my mind and transported meA book with a mind-gripping experience I have never imagined reading. The World At Large has given me a new insight of the diversities that can surround ones life. The story ravished my mind and transported me into the authors world where it were as if I could relate to, feel, understand and experience what was taking place in each page. The use of words, plot and everything about this story was indeed fascinating, profound and adventurous. I have learnt so
