review 1: I thought the author rather lost his way after a good start; such as listing songs that mentioned walking, which seemed a rather desperate attempt at page filling. Ther were parts that I could imagine wanting to refer back to in future, but without an index it'll be tricky. It's a poor show when a publisher publishes a book which has a moderately scholarly approach to a subject deems an index unnecessary.
review 2: I eyed this in the bookstore for months and finally bought it. I love literature that takes history or anthropology from a unique angle, and walking relates to everyone, right? Was a little disappointed; Nicholson's talent shows through in instances, but is drowned in a sort of name-dropping of completely unexplained factoids and his indulgence in be... moreing an Angeleno, which means nothing except to other Angelenos. less
