BOOK REVIEWS
Road Work : Images And Insights Of A Modern Day Explorer Michael Oneill 2021 ASIN B09GJPFR46
It ' s frought with danger when an author professes about awards , recognition , and published items only to then self publish a book .
Michael Oneill does just that for a considerable amount of time in the pages of Road Work : Images And Insights Of A Modern Day
Explorer , whilst trying to offer his views of the world through the eyes of the United States and Canada .
Road Work does contain many interesting anacdotes regarding Oneill ' s passion of photography as well as motorcycle riding yet at times feel a little let down by rants of social commentary and judgement of the situation of others , easy to do when one professes to be an award winning professional .
Without justification the social comment becomes tiring and detracts from what could be a great self-published piece of work . Unfortunately it ' s just too much . Road Work is a simply read that does contain many beautiful images however , the work of an editor and publishing house could ' ve made it so much more .
