Christine's review
Blue Highways: A Journey into America by William Least Heat-Moon
I got this book as a gift before my cross country trek to move from Boston to San Francisco. It definitely wasn't what I envisioned a road log to be like, but found it endearing at times. The author has a good sense of humor and told some really interesting stories about the places he went and people he met. It held it's allure because he traveled to the small towns, the towns that you might drive through, blink, and miss.
I only gave it three stars though because, in all honesty, it took me FOREVER to finish it. It wasn't captivating in a way that made me want to get through it. However, for anyone who likes to drive back roads and take adventures off the beaten path, there are definitely some good places mentioned that made me desire yet another road trip through the US.
