Title: Should have kept the car in the garage
Product review: McMurty's book looked promising, as literary travel books of a personal nature usually have an interesting point of view. In this case McMurtry totally lost me with his aloofness and lack of any kind of insight. He travels huge distances on the interstate and other roads and appears to see nothing. He is so miserable and self-indulgent that he might as well have stayed at home and written the same book. Now Paul Theroux is as miserable as they come sometimes, but I devoured every word of his adventures. Not so here, Roads was a very disappointing read for me.
