review 1: Heat-Moon combines an infectious curiosity and a journalist's nose for poignant stories with a writing style repulsive enough to make you physically ill. The book's actual narrative is fantastic, but it's hopelessly buried in page after page of obnoxious asides and overly witty banter that reek of academe and seem to positively delight in derailing the story. Someone hire this man an editor, or at least take away his thesaurus.I had to quit when he used "anon" instead of soon. Just tell the damn story, William.
review 2: The first WLHM book I have read; I think I'll try more. I have to admit that it took a while for me to get really interested in it, but it's long enough that I had the time. It has a lot of fascinating stories from interesting people, and the a... moreuthor's "philosophizing" (for lack of a better word) adds a lot of insight to the stories and human nature in general. (Although sometimes he gets a little too far out, and you wish he stopped a little sooner.) less
