Couldn't put it down. I can never get enough of America, but only travel there due to work. This was an inspiring read, of an ambitious trip, done for the best reason -for the hell of it. Tom's writing gives me such a clear mental image, I felt like i'd rode with him.
A nice travelogue. At times too self absorbed and pretentious. I like a travelogue to be something where you wish you could spend time with the authors (eg McCarthy's bar).
