Thank you Weekly Staff for this excellent book review. It is obvious, despite some typos, that Eric Ghazarian writes beautifully. I shall kindle-down the book. We sponsored 2 female (non-Armenian) drivers from Ottawa in the 2011 Caucasian Challenge and they were also very pleased with this car-rally. They also donated funds to an Armenia-based charity.
I wish to congratulate Mr. Ghazarian for directing his collected funds to the Armenian Volunteer corps (AVC http://www.armenianvolunteer.org/ ) which is also a registered charity that attracts young and young at heart volunteers to work in Armenia. They do a marvelous job, as it is evident with Eric.
Dear Eric,
I noticed the title of your book in Armenian Weekly, I dowloaded to my Kindle and read it all the way to the end (in one night). I congratulate you first, for your very pleasant narrative and interesting car-rally all the way to Yerevan. I congratulate you also for your patriotic and noble feelings by donating part of the income to Armenia based charities. Bravo and good lack.
Arto and Antoine–Thank you for the warm and positive feedback.
