review 1: I read the book Greasy Rider written by Greg Melville. This book was a joy to read. It was adventurous and it made the reader want to keep reading the next page. Greg Melville had great and honest intentions before, during, and after his road trip. His curiosity and writer instincts are what make the book a great joy to read. One thing that really made the book interesting was the conversations between Greg and Iggy. They discussed multiple things including environmental issues, who started the French fry car, bets, family and friends. Another thing that made the story more compelling is that his wife had a strongly opposed towards the idea of a french-fry car, Melville carefully weighed the pros and cons. However, there is no doubt a positive was making his wife happy.... more The ever present sent of fried food and incessant grease spots on clothing where a small price to pay for a car that runs on free gas.
review 2: Two friends set across the United States in their previously diesel-fueled car that was converted to run on cooking oil in order to examine alternatives for cleaner energy. The friends learn that Al Gore lives in an energy-hogging mansion (and even drive by it) and visit a wind turbine farm, all while scavenging for the greasy and heart-clogging lifeblood of their converted car, used cooking oil. ~ LDL Administration less
