    <body><![CDATA[Like all the Miller I've read there are great parts and less great parts.  <br/><br/>He really does attack modern american society better than anyone. <br/>&quot;To call this a society of free people is blaspehmous.

    <body><![CDATA[Much of the America Miller writes about has disappeared since his trip in 1941, and many of his opinions, though valid at the time, are very dated.

As such, it's now a r...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/40610910">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Finally got around to this dyspeptic travelogue, in which Miller returns from Paris, travels around the late 1930's-early 1940's U.S. of A., and, apparently, throws up a little bit in his mouth daily from Mobile to Manhattan. What you imagine to be the quintessential Henry Miller voice is here--sort...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/14958992">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Every American should read at least one or two chapters of TA-CN.  My favorite chapter concerns his visit to New Iberia, LA.  After reading it I traveled there to tour the famous Weeks Hall house, which although now a public museum, was every bit as magnificent as HM described it.

    <body><![CDATA[I purchased this book on my honeymoon to Big Sur/Carmel/Napa Valley area. It was a literary tour of Steinbeck and Henry Miller country. Not the cheery book you want when starting a life with someone....but, a good road book. Better than Kerouac.<br/><br/>I picked up this book again last night.

    <body><![CDATA[At the start of this book I was thinking it'd be a solid 4. Ended up 3.5 <br/>This book is Miller as travel journalist. His ideas on America are still as relevant and poignant today as they were when he left Europe as an ex-pat to travel NY-California in the 40s--nothing to scoff at. ]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Might need to pick up and read again.  The first time I read it , in 1998 or so, found it to be overly pretentious and unkind... I guess I had a problem with his observations and criticisms he made from the window of his car, and not from actually be among those he was writing about.  <br/><br/>Lo...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/28442793">more...</a>]]></body>
