What Readers Are Saying About One Hell of a Ride



  • "Wow! It sounds great. Do you have an agent in Hollywood for the movie rights to your book?" -SEBASTIAN JUNGER, author of the book and movie "The Perfect Storm"


  • "Thanks for the book. I just finished it and enjoyed it immensely. I could relate to so many of your experiences. What a 'Ride' indeed, and what a fascinating slice of Baja history." -GRAHAM MACKINTOSH, winner of the Adventurous Traveler of the Year Award (England) and author of "Into a Desert Place: A 3,000-Mile Walk around the Coast of Baja, California"


  • "Just finished the book. Received it Friday, finished it Sunday. Where shall I start? Great through and through! Absolutely fantastic! Just a great read! Trouble had found you-more than once. You are a very resourceful man of common sense and class. I am finished giving you compliments so call me or write and get busy on another book! This is no time for you to get lazy." -ROBERT BROWN, research, marketing, and sales


  • "Well, John loved the book! Couldn't put it down. In fact, I'm ordering five more." -VICKEY LYDDON


  • "Your book was just great and a wonderful insight into the creation of Punta Chivato. Went out to Punta Chivato a year ago and I was very impressed. You and your workers did a magnificent job and I plan to return someday. Again, thank you for your story and I hope someday you write another book for all of us to enjoy the adventures of your life in Baja, or wherever your journeys take you." -TERRY BOLD (in love with Baja)


  • "I think the greatest thing about your book is that one does not have to be familiar with Baja to thoroughly enjoy reading about your life. Naturally, if one is a Baja fan, it's undoubtedly just that much better." -BARBARA QUANBECK, editor


  • "Lou, this morning at breakfast my wife started pounding on me to write a screenplay based on your book. What do you think?" -GENE KIRA, "Mexico Reports" editor, author of "King of the Moon"


  • "Real glad I read your memoirs. I'll be seeing Chivato in a completely different light armed with a little history. That feels good! Would you sign another copy for a friend?" -JIM WEIDLER


  • "Lou Federico has had a life the best screenwriters couldn't have created." -GLORIA BEVERAGE, editor of "The Telegraph"


  • "We were visiting with Duane Hotton of Walnut Creek and he mentioned your book and brought it to us the next day to read. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would like to have a copy of our own. We will definitely pass on how enjoyable your book is to read to our fellow Vags/friends. Is there truth to the rumor that you are working on a second book?" -MARK and FAITH MARTINEZ, California


  • "Started in the middle and read to the end. Wow! It WAS one hell of a ride, wasn't it? And that was just the last half. Now I have to start at the beginning. I assume that as the book gets greater visibility-and it will-it will increase the risk of one of the colorful characters you mention as thieves, swine, and vermin. May even want to shoot you in the ass." -BRIAN WEISS, Baja publications consultant and FAA speaker on flying Baja


  • "Your book is incredible reading. Wow! Love reading that stuff about what you pioneers went through. Thanks for one hell of a ride." -JONATHAN ROLDAN, Baja author and editor


  • "Even though we came out of the same womb, we knew nothing about your experiences. Wow!" -HARRY and GINGER, Lou's brother and sister


  • "Enjoyed working with you on your book. Shoot for a movie-it will be great!" -WILLIAM HAMMETT, author
