"This is a pretty fun book. About taking his boat from the atlantic to the pacific as much as he could. he has a joy in this trip that is infectuous and a HELL of a vocabulary that is great to learn from."
"Even if Heat-Moon's retelling of his cross-country voyage via rivers does tend to be a bit longer than necessary, his tale is never really dull. Besides, he is a narrator one can grow to like not only for his honesty about his own faults but also for his keen personal observations. My edition could have really benefited, however, by including better maps in place of the almost useless ones that were used. Details of the voyage were too important not to give the readers a better idea about where things were happening."
"This is not my favorite of WLH-M's book but it is still an enjoyable read. The project was daunting - to go from the east coast to the west coast by boat and as always his writing is a real delight. What gets a little bit tedious is "he frequent reference to whether they would be able to make it to the west coast - no question that this was a valid concern at many points but a description of the situation would have been enough for the reader to realize the seriousness. But, I wish he would write ten more books - I would read them all."
