Comic Memoir Book Review – Building The Beast: How (Not) To Build An Overland Camper

Posted byJacqueline Lambert @WorldWideWalkiesPosted inBooks, Product ReviewTags:, , , , , , , , ,

I am delighted to share with you this wonderful review of my new book, Building The Beast: How (Not) To Build An Overland Camper by D.G. Kaye, herself a distinguished memoirist, who chose my book for her Sunday Book Review.

“This book is an incredible read. It may be called Building The Beast, but this is so much more than the build, and so far away from a ‘how-to’ manual. This is a memoir about the author and her husband and their big dream to build a roadworthy mobile home to travel and live in. It is wonderfully written with rich descriptions about their retirement dream and every single obstacle they encountered from searching for the right vehicle to the many trials and tribulations they faced on the way to the build. Click HERE to read the rest of D.G. Kaye’s review, or follow the link below.

It is rather timely, since today, 1st July 2024, is our three year Beastversary – we have been touring in The Beast since 1st July 2021. You can check out our adventures on my Truckin’ About page.

    AD (After Dogs) - We retired early to tour Europe in a caravan with four dogs. "To boldly go where no van has gone before". Since 2021, we've been at large in a 24.5-tonne self-converted ex-army truck called The Beast. BC (Before Canines) - we had adventures on every continent other than Antarctica!
