"I am really liking this book...I think I prefer it to his other one, "Naked in Dangerous Places", possibly because it's less complain-y. Though who am I kidding, his complaining doesn't really bother me. I find Cash Peters charming and endearing and I'm not one of those people that thinks a travel book needs to be all about rainbows and adventures. I like a good fish-out-of-water tale as much as the next person, especially when the writer can laugh about it.
This book appeals to me more, I think, because of my own recent Road Trip Across America which took me to many of the places Cash mocks visits in "Gullible's Travels". I'm really fond of his style, and though he writes about people who've been offended after reading about their midwestern hometown, this book strikes me more as a love letter to those places (albeit with maybe his fingers crossed behind his back. But only a little bit!)"
"This was an interesting book, full of interesting stories about interesting places - after reading it, I immediately had to find out everything I could about the Museum of Bad Art, which is awesome. Thank you for that, Cash Peters. I am not generally a fan of biographies, or memoirs, or etc., but I read this on a recommendation and it turned out that I did enjoy this book more than I thought I would, mostly because of the author's personal honesty about feeling like he was caught up in doing a job that he never saw himself doing, and being something that he never wanted to be... I think this is something that a lot of people can relate to, everyone has dreams they want to follow, but it is easy to get caught up in life and look back down the road and wonder what happened. But the big lesson of this book can be summed up in one of my favorite quotes... "I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be." -Douglas Adams."
"The museum of dirt, the museum of rocks, Graceland...need I say more? If you can stand the monotony of these tours, you will be delighted by Peters' wit and charm in this volume of truly bad taste tours."
