review 1: A self-fulfilling journey which did not disappoint. Caputo and his hipster wife, Leslie, forge through harsh roads and even harsher weather at times to engage people and cultures along the way from Key West to Deadhorse, Alaska. Their tenacity and adventurous spirits shined throughout the story. The plight of various cultures in America are delved into in restrained form. The exhaustion the couple felt at the end of the trip is palpable and they couldn't wait to return home to their own beds. That's a familiar beat! You will love this book if you have been bitten by the travel bug or seek a slice of Americana bare boned with few luxuries...
review 2: When the author described his travels, especially in such remote locations as the Yukon and Alaska, "The Longest... more Road" held my interest. However, Caputo devoted too much space to peripheral subject areas and people who were not that interesting, at least to me. He also tended to over analyze current political problems in the country with the opinions of people who he encountered on his journey.--Robert Ricker less
