"The author manages to put a spin on everything about America, good or bad, and make the mundane appear in such a different light that it is as thought-provoking as it is humorous. I am reading this for my literature class, and while I enjoy the other books that I've read/am reading, this is definitely my favorite text. A highly entertaining and insightful read. Recommended."
"I liked this book quite well but I hate that it was stuck in the travel genre because it is very . . not. I appreciate the quantity and depth of the allusions that start with the title. Lastly the reason I read it and found it so interesting was the section on Guntersville, it is amazing how much still rings true today about that community.
While I liked the book it was easy to get bogged by down but if you read it please persevere the end is worth it."
"I think I saw brief flicker of interest disrupt my sudents' blank stares when I read them the section about Air People. And the chapter about Alabama makes me want a dog and a career as a travel writer."
