Neil Peart's way with words extends beyond the lyric booklet of Rush albums and well into the literary world, as proven with the Ghost Rider. Although at times a difficult read for anyone who has lost anyone (essentially anyone), it is a very candid reveal of a man going through often excruciating grieving and yet persevering. As the miles and motels run together he continues to push the stages of what he is feeling in a respectable tell-all way. Perhaps not the most gripping tale it comes across as entirely authentic, with things to be realized and learned from the experiences of another. The epilogue is a short dose of damn near cheer following the hundreds of pages of gloom but remains respectful and grounded - I suppose as a ray of hope for anyone who has related throughout.
