Book Reviews of A Walk Across America

This is a true story about a young man who walks across America seeking to get to know his country and ended up a changed man by the people he met along the way.

this is an awesome book to read.it has alot of pictures of people this fellow met on his journey.great book.

Great perspective on this great country that we live it.

I'm a huge fan of Craig Childs (ALL his books are beautifully written and render his experiences almost intact to the reader) and Ted Kerasote (especially "Merle's Door", an exceptionally poignant story). This book is just too immature for me: this man is a contemporary of mine (same age) and this book may have held my interest forty years ago, but today it simply doesn't. It would be wonderful for a young adult. I got through barely 1/3 of the book, was constantly reminded of "Into The Wild" by Jon Krakauer (the story of Chris McCandless' bizarre Alaskan adventure which ended in his tragic death) and kept wondering "WHY is this kid doing this?" Didn't work for me.

Good travelling book.
