Steve B. (fog) - reviewed on 10/7/2020 + 139 more book reviews

The author manages to drive the backroads and byways thru 38 states in American and can't find a city, town, or rural area he likes or has positive words about. The only state he praises is his home state of Iowa. He is an American but lives now in England and he is trying to recreate his childhood memories of family vacations while at the same time giving a running dialog of his likes, dislikes and disappointments in the places he visits. Some of the narrative is funny and some just shows his attempt at being the typical snobbish visitor form out of country. It was an ok book to read if you keep in mind that the book was first published in 1990 and you keep things in that perspective.
