Reviews"No surprise about Neil being a gifted writer after all the amazing Rush lyrics that he's written, but the pictures really put his books on the 'must have' list." -- WNCX Cleveland, "The art he draws with his young daughter is heartwarming; his refusal to bend for a Rolling Stone photographer is hilarious ... Rush fans feeling nostalgic about the end of the band's touring days will likely enjoy the ride." -- Publishers Weekly, "The art he draws with his young daughter is heartwarming; his refusal to bend for a Rolling Stone photographer is hilarious . . .

For rock fans and readers who enjoy a good road epic, this work will have great appeal." -- Booklist on Far and Near "One does not need to be a Rush fan to appreciate Peart's story telling. It's a beautiful text, rife with interesting photos, anecdotes, and factoids" -- The Huffington Post on Far and Near "Experience the sheer joy Peart takes in life and his passion for sharing it with others. Far less scandalous than 'rock drummer writes book' might suggest but far more interesting, too." -- Kirkus Reviews on Far and Near "This is a fine travelogue that fans and general readers alike should enjoy." -- Publishers Weekly on Far and Near "The reader is riding shotgun as Peart provides an intimate narrative of the places he's seen and the strangers he's met." -- Toronto Star on Far and Near "With captivating illustrations by [Nick] Robles, it is easy to imagine the backdrop of the lives Miranda (and the reader) collects. Fantasy fans will be captivated by this steampunk version of The Canterbury Tales ." -- Library Journal , starred review of Clockwork Lives
