review 1: Not a compelling read but a pleasant and amusing one. This guy who's spreading his dad's ashes across the Lower 48 has just about every obstacle you can imagine placed in his path, but somehow keeps on going. And he does it in good spirits, meeting a variety of characters along the way. His varied means of transportation and his methods of generating enough cash to keep going are ingenious and very entertaining. This method of interment sure beats a dreary funeral and a hole in the ground. The problem, of course, is finding someone who's willing to put up with what Roastbeef does to pull it off.
review 2: What a marvelously funny novel. Since I’m usually not a fan of “Road Stories” I was not particularly drawn to this book but I’m really glad I ma... morede the effort to read it. It’s the story of Jim “Roastbeef” Hume who promised his dying father that when the time came he would scatter his ashes in every state of the contiguous lower forty eight. His adventures in pursuit of this mission are not only unpredictable but outrageously hilarious. The author has worked as a joke writer on various TV shows as well as doing some stand-up and that has undoubtedly honed his timing skills but the characters are warm, believable and sometimes, people you’ve known. less
