4.0 out of 5 stars Great book, but a little disappointing, 26 Jan 2007
By C. Gardan (Sweden) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this book for my husband for Christmas. He had heard from some car buddies that Mike Wallis was an expert on Route 66 and this book was supposed to be the be all and end all of Route 66 books. Well ... we're nearly finished READING the book, but it's in no way a guide to Route 66! We both assumed (first mistake!!!) that it was more of a guide ... the what to do's when your here on Route 66 kind of book and it's absolutely not that. It's the history of Route 66 with a plethera of interesting facts and fantastic Then and Now pictures. The disappointment lies in the fact that we thought this was a guide not a literary book. Now we're looking for the "guide" to Route 66 to tell us the things that are not to be missed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderful book, great storyteller, brings old road to life!, 7 Dec 1997
By A Customer
This review is from: Route 66: The Mother Road (Hardcover)
Wallis is a skillful storyteller who brings this highway alive! He ignites in the reader the desire to travel the road & get to know the cast of characters who live & work on the shoulders of Rt 66. Lots of great memories for baby boomers who took family driving vacations. The book reminds us that so much of what we love about America; the "mom & pop" businesses, the quirky tourist attractions and the good people are still out there, waiting to be rediscovered on Route 66.

4.0 out of 5 stars M Wallis route66, 8 Oct 2009
By N. R. Best - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found the book very informative as we were about to undertake travelling the whole of route 66 from the start in Chicago to Santa Monica,we found a lot of the poeple in the book but a lot of the places were closed down now the best food on route was the Ariston Cafe the rest had become the norm for America ie [Macdonalds ect]but the book gave us an insight of how travelling route66 in the early days of the road and through to the last days, as we are English reading the book made use more knowledgeable than americans driving route 66 we showed them the book and they wanted to keep the book for themselves told them to buy on line at Amazon.Could do with a map at the start of each chapter of the route showing the locations of the places in the book.
