Review:This is a witty, inspiring, awkward, smile forming, laugh out loud inducing book. I did not want to put the book down. I read before I go to sleep at night and I would tell myself "Just one more chapter and I'll stop reading." But I would fall asleep reading, wake up in the middle of the night curled up with my kindle, and start reading again! This is the best book I have read in a long time! Read more

Review:I downloaded this on Kindle Unlimited.

I loved reading this book, at the same time as it making me feel really fed up because I wasn't there, doing it, and now I (very probably) never will be. I was glad I've read Bill Bryson's A Walk In The Woods, because I recognised some landmarks, even the names of shelters, and was familiar with the basics of such an endeavour, not least of all the superiority of the 'thru-hiker' compared with the day hikers (I detected the hierarchy, even in such a...

Review:Not for me. Creeps me out reading about all the guns, animal and bird killing and the plateau African Americans reach socially in the south. I did appreciate the author's humor and can see how many liked the book. Read more

Review:If you like bravura prose this is a must-read; if your taste runs to short, affect-less little sentences don't bother, this is not the book for you. How good is good? This good: the essay on the tennis pro is so moving, profound, and brilliantly crafted you'll want to read it twice in a row, even if you cultivate an active dislike for sports in general and athletes in particular, as I do. The essay on the Illinois state fair is so vivid, intense, funny, sad, and deep that you'll not only fee... Read more

Review:Useful when planning a trip to the 49th state. It's huge and there are few roads. Easy to read. Street maps of the most visited towns. Maps of Denali National Park, Kenai Fjords National Park and the Inside Passage. Read more

Review:Lots of great information for our trip up the AlCan and move to Alaska. However, the pages are super thin. I was flipping through it before wrapping it up for my husband’s birthday and one of the pages ripped about 2 inches. It definitely needs very gentle handling, which is difficult for referencing in the car or letting my elementary aged kiddos read. Read more

Review:I am leading a discussion of The Paris Wife written from the point of view of Hadley, Hemingway's wife during the 20's so I thought reading A Movable Feast would make the period and story more interesting. Both books are really good but A Movable Feast brings Paris alive with the sights, sounds and relationships that Hemingway had with his friends. There is little of Hadley in the book but with a few words you know how Hemingway felt about his first wife. Read more

Review:In Hemingway's nonfiction recounting of his life in Kenya and of the many, many animals he shot while there, Green Hills is his quintessential nonfiction reportage mastered. While Wolfe would wear a white suit, Hemingway dresses as a hunter and became part of the land, even as he continually searches for the next great hunting plain.

Hemingway was no stranger to the Kenya in his fiction; fictional memoir True at First Light and numerous short stories were set there. But like Death in the ... Read more

Review:Just finished this book on my kindle. I laughed so hard when I read the part about obtaining her drivers license! My husband asked me if I was ok! It's an easy read, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. We are here in Costa Rica for 6 months and Nadine gave me some more ideas on places I would like to see. Will be watching for the sequel! Thank you :) Read more

Review:This book is very thorough not only in verbally mapping a road trip, but in describing what to see and why. I haven't taken any of the routes yet (I'm mainly an armchair traveler), but I have learned a great deal about some lesser known attractions to be found on two-lane highways. It reads like a travel diary, but is still instructive and informative.

"Road Trip USA" is organized by states and regions, so it is easy to read in sections for a virtual road trip or while actually travelling... Read more
