First Sentence
For some reason, when people elsewhere in the country refer to the West Coast, particularly California, they seem to think it's a land of kooks and crazies, an overbuilt suburban desert supporting only shopping malls, freeways, and body-obsessed airheads. Read the first page

The Travellers Return,
By Alison Winsborough (Portland, Dorset United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Road Trip USA: Cross-country Adventures on America's Two-lane Highways (Moon Handbooks Road Trip USA: Cross-Country Adventures on America's Two-Lane Highways) (Paperback)
I had long yearned to undertake a USA road trip, but where do you start? And how do you ensure you experience the curiosities that you can find if you venture that little bit from the beaten track? Armed with Jamie in hand we used the "Road Trip USA" as our guide and motored along the US-80 trip. We veered off and saw New Oleans but STILL read through the info from another road trip to give us an idea of what was worth diverting from the straight and narrow to see. A really invaluable resource which gives you more than the average guide book to entertain you along the way. Enjoy the read. Enjoy the preparations that you will have to make, and then savour the journey.

OK but too specific,

This review is from: Road Trip USA: Cross-country Adventures on America's Two-lane Highways (Moon Handbooks Road Trip USA: Cross-Country Adventures on America's Two-Lane Highways) (Paperback)
This book is likely an excellent guide for those who have a vague wish to take a road trip around the states but no clear idea of where to go, but if you have any plans or ideas of your own this probably isn't for you - it is more a book of factual anecdotes chronicaling a series of pre-set routes taken by the author than a guidebook, although the information on a specific place may be useful should you arrive there on your route. I would instead recommend the latest Rough Guide to the USA edition.

A Unique and Wonderful Book,
By Sam Butterworth - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Road Trip USA: Cross-country Adventures on America's Two-lane Highways (Moon Handbooks Road Trip USA: Cross-Country Adventures on America's Two-Lane Highways) (Paperback)
When we drove across country last summer, we searched for a book that could lead us on an off-the-beaten-path American adventure. Jamie Jensen's Road Trip USA gave us more than we could have hoped for. Road Trip USA is filled with credible and detailed information regarding sites, hotels and restaurants. The book provides vivid history and current information, so you can get a real sense of the places you go. We ate crabs with the local beachhounds on the Outer Banks, had BBQ with the 9-to-5'ers in Montgomery, ate pizza with LSU fans in Baton Rouge, and drank the best beer we'd ever tasted in a tiny town off the California coast. The detailed, quirky tidbits the book includes are invaluable. What other book tells you about the B'Hai radio station that you can listen to as you drive through Myrtle Beach, SC? If you want to see the USA- not just check out the tourist sites, but see where and how other folks in the USA really live - this is the book for you.

A must for all road travellers,
By Edward Davis - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Road Trip USA: Cross-country Adventures on America's Two-lane Highways (Moon Handbooks Road Trip USA: Cross-Country Adventures on America's Two-Lane Highways) (Paperback)
This book is quite simply in a league of it's own. I have only done (partially) two of the eleven routes. It's the little things this book has that counts and the highlights of the trip that are listed at the beginning of each chapter are handy. Of course, this book can't be everything and I would seriously recommend also taking a good comprehensive USA Guide Book from say 'Frommers' with you as sometimes the book misses out on some things along the way that a comprehensive guide book can fill in. I would also recommend having a good road map. The maps in the book aren't the best and since you're not on the Interstate you don't want to take a wrong turn and be in the middle of nowhere lost. So, If you're planning a Road Trip in the USA check this book out. You won't regret it (plus it's just such a neat book to have in the bookshelf that will never grow old). 16 of 16 people found the following review helpful:

A Road Trip Must,
By A Customer - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Road Trip USA: Cross-country Adventures on America's Two-lane Highways (Moon Handbooks Road Trip USA: Cross-Country Adventures on America's Two-Lane Highways) (Paperback)
I used this book on a trip following the Mississippi, from New Orleans to Chicago, and it made my road trip epic. Without it, I would have missed spectacular yet obscure sights like the restaurant shaped like a mammy in Mississippi and the world's largest ketchup bottle in southern Illinois. You will miss so much if you just drive on the eight-lane interstates, yet seeing the cool stuff on the two-lane roads can be hit or miss without someone to show you the way. Let this book be your guide. A gem for all road trip pilgrims.
