Title: the old iron road
Review: This book is a waste of money. It reads like "My Summer Vacation" and is written at an eighth grade level. How an eminent publisher like Penguin could print this is mindboggling. If one started with an interest in the history of the transcontinental railroad this tome effectively puts an end to it. Comparing this load of gibberish to authors like McPhee, Raban, Frazier, Chatwin, or Theroux is sacrilege. I suppose it just goes to show what lengths publishers will go to try to make a buck. Do not buy this book.
