review 1: It took a while to get into his writing style (kind of dry and "dude-ish") but I loved the clarity and honesty that he presented. The best parts are synopses of American life and his other travels he has taken by bike. The not-so-great parts, for me, were technical details about bikes and road logs. A book about traveling and self-discovery. Recommended for all adventurers, bike enthusiasts, and people that "get" why anyone would travel cross country in anything but a car.
review 2: Fifty seven year old New York Times obit writer bikes solo, again, across the United States. Way too much information for me about the neuroses of this twitchy native New Yorker. The writing is excellent, but the deal breaker in the end was that I didn't like him that much, which is... more a problem if the central thrust of the book is that the reader is invited to tag along for three months and four thousand miles of solo pedaling. Passage across Montana and North Dakota was especially soul sucking. Basically a downer. less
