Praise for The Book
“Russak writes stoically about logistics and joyfully about the wonders of new places. This strong combination results in a highly readable and entertaining story that will inspire readers to hit the road in search of new adventures. He does not shy from the pitfalls, problems, and risks they encounter. From mechanical problems, accidents, and a near drowning, Russak gives an honest portrayal of the perils of driving and camping through Africa, Australia, South America, and beyond."
“Russak began work on this dynamic travel memoir after Marianne passed away, the book comprising his memorial to their loving, long-lasting bond…With its remarkable tales and a couple of “fables” included for pure imaginative enjoyment, Russak’s large volume makes a satisfying read and a perfect “vehicle” for armchair travelers, perhaps – intentionally – inciting some to finish reading the couple’s saga, get up, and go.”
