Title: Disappointing
Product review: I picked up this book because I was considering a road trip and was looking for inspiration: the 15 yrs and 90 000 miles part of the title led me to believe the author would have a lot to share. Instead I found myself wading through details too personal to empathise with (why should I care that Multnomah Falls is special to you because you once met a woman in an New York elevator wearing a Multnomah Falls belt?), underwritten by endless references to Lewis & Clark (if I'm as interested in them as you assume, wouldn't The Journals of Lewis & Clark be a better purchase?).Yes, driving for miles on road trips can be dull, but there's an art to reflecting that in an interesting way that engages the reader. Like the reviewer above notes, it's as boring as watching someone else's home movies, and indeed as annoying as a road trip that gets off at every exit.
