"
On the ground, at a gradual pace, one can view the change of the world in a detail not available elsewhere. Jackfruit: A Bicycle Quest Through Latin America chronicles David Nghiem's travels as he takes his mountain bike and supplies and rides through the vast part of the world known as Latin America. As he goes through the jungles and cities, he sees the gradual change in culture and people, while facing the harshness of nature all along the way. Jackfruit is an exciting read, well worth picking up." - Midwest Book Reviews
"A very exciting and enjoyable read. Highly recommend it. For all those people that always wanted to explore a new and different country but couldn't this book will totally immerse you in the explorer's experiences and challenges. Being Latin American myself, this book is a very honest depiction of the Latin American people, cultural and scenery while providing an exciting mystery and exhilarating story line. Couldn't put the book down, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!!" - Carolina M.
"...an amazing story... a wide ranging, far reaching tale of economic oppression, neocolonialism, ancient civilizations, and possible alien beings from across the universe. It's a helluva ride. And very engrossing... Highly recommended." - Matthew D.
"The best parts of Jackfruit are the people. Nghiem is befriended by the man who designed Thor Heyerdahl's boat, the national bicycle champion of Honduras, Peace Corp workers and a remarkable boy with Down's Syndrome. The true friendships Nghiem forms shine through in the pages of Jackfruit."
