About this product

Product Information

Within a ten-month period, Neil Peart lost both his 19-year-old daughter, Selena, and his wife, Jackie. Faced with overwhelming sadness and isolated from the world in his home on the lake, Peart was left without direction. This memoir tells of the sense of personal devastation that led him on a 55,000-mile journey by motorcycle across much of North America, down through Mexico to Belize, and back again. Peart chronicles his personal odyssey and includes stories of reuniting with friends and family, grieving, and reminiscing. He recorded with dazzling artistry the enormous range of his travel adventures, from the mountains to the seas, from the deserts to the Arctic ice, and the memorable people who contributed to his healing. Ghost Rider is a brilliantly written and ultimately triumphant narrative memoir from a gifted writer and the drummer and lyricist of the legendary rock band Rush.

    Motorcycling letter writing journal

    As a fan of the band Rush and an avid motorcycle rider and long distance touring traveler who loves to write. I knew that this book would be something I would enjoy. I followed Neil's journey with a map book of my own enjoying when I realized that I had ridden some of those roads also. If you are not a motorcyclist you may find better reading elsewhere.

  • Neil Peart's cathartic new perspective.

    Neil Peart's cathartic cross-country journey/journal by motorcycle; a BMW 1250 to be precise. After the death of his Wife and Daughter, Neil Peart takes off in search of his soul. It's a harrowing, lonely, and grim journey, Peart remains incredibly introspective as he rebuilds his sense of self through the simple pleasures of life, thousands of miles over the road, and eventually his return to music. I would recommend this to any musician, or any person who is dealing with loss. This could easily be great material or reading for a Human Development class. The universal appeal will resonate with all motorcyclists as he covers well over 50,000 miles zig-zagging across Canada and the United States.

  • GHOST RIDER by NEIL PEART

    As an avid RUSH fan from the early 70s as well as a long distance motorcycle racer and MSF instructor, I found the book to be an insiteful view of a mans search for selfworth and redemption.Mr.Pearts journey both inside himself as well as on the road is a thaughtful insight into who and what we are and what makes us human.His book can be considered a metaphor as to why we continue on and why we chase that horizon that can never be reached. I highly recomend this book to anyone that has lost someone or something they cherished or are just trying to find thier place in this non compromizing world.

  • Ghost Rider Paperback by Neil Peart (2002)

    This was a good condition, but a book that appears to have been read once. If you want one to put on the shelf to look at then pay the price for a new one or maybe even a hard cover copy... If you're looking for a great deal, look no further. I bought this as a Therapy Aid and am not done reading it. Thus far it's written in a very unique stlye as are all of Neil's writings. Everyone knows the story of Neil loosing his only Daughter ina tragic auto accident. I think she was 18. Then approx. 10 months later he lost his first Wife to Cancer. Now he had to choose to end his life or to find a way to deal with it. This was his healing road in which he rode his BMW Motorcycle aroung the North American Continent; racking up an unbelievable 55,000 miles in only 14 months. These are his ...
