This is a very funny and entertaining book that sometimes made me giggle and sometimes made me laugh out loud. In many ways, the tourist attractions that Cash describes are incidental. It is his perceptive observations on ordinary people and daily life that I enjoyed the most. I especially liked his Top Ten Self-Evident Life Truths ('People who drink and smoke are more interesting than those who don't' etc.), the 'hallmarks' of bad artists and the witty asides he makes. I can't wait for the next installment!

Reviewer: A reader from Ocala, FL United States
Well-written, erudite travel books, especially with outrageous humor, are almost impossible to find. This one is a doozie! Living in the hinterlands, I've never heard Mr. Peters on the radio, so I can only hope that this book is just the first of many more to come. I'm a great fan of Bill Bryson, and I'm happy to report that Cash Peters is every bit as good and in some respects better. Mr. Peters may be gullible, but his insights are rapier sharp. This is a book to confirm your sanity in a world that often seems dreadfully askew. Great writer, great book. More please.

Before I read this book I had no desire to visit the world's largest ball of twine or the Museum of Dirt. I still don't. But I am glad that Cash Peters did. This guy is hilarious. This is much more than a travel book, it's a rather touching voyage of discovery in the company of a very entertaining writer. Cash Peters is a witty and cynical commentator who can turn a great one liner, but he's also insightful and rather lovable. He just can't bring himself to hate the wacko places he visits. Listening in to his bemused musings on the importance of Bad Art I found myself convinced that if I had to visit the Precious Moments Theme Park, this is the man I would want to be with. A very, very funny and engaging book. Highly recommended.

After hearing Cash Peters' hysterically funny radio bits on American radio for some years, I thought I knew what to expect from his book: more of the same. Right. Read more
