Negative Positive
Title: Disappointing
Review: I read a few other reviews where the writing in this book was described as amateur, lacking focus and ham-fisted (what a great word). The premise of this book is so great but the author's poor writing style and lack of meaning is incredibly disappointing. The book feels like a work log of what he did every day and misses so many opportunities to share insight and depth. One of my favorite inconsistencies is when the author shares that he has been a strict vegetarian for the prior 3 years and then only 13 pages later describes how he orders 15 "big-man" burgers from a fast food drive in. What?!?!I was generous and gave this book a 2 because I really like the idea of seeing the country by walking across it. Unfortunately the title was probably the best part of the book. Don't waste your time on this one.
Is the review positive or negative?
