I’ve had this title recommended to me multiple times by friends and algorithms. In no doubt influenced by my previous enjoyment of John Steinbeck’s novels. While I can appreciate the similarities, I prefer Steinbeck’s writings. That’s not to say this isn’t a good story because it is. It’s also well-written and engaging up until the final couple of sections. This, for me, is where the writing drops off a little. In hindsight, if I had left the book at the end of part four or five, I would have felt better about the book. I’m glad I stuck with it, though as I may have been left wondering about certain storylines. I recommend the book, especially if you like road trip stories. Who knows, maybe you’ll enjoy the last parts more than me.
