Mr. McMurtry has a little gem here. Unlike other travel books where explorers take to the road less traveled, he sticks to the interstates. He's not interested in meeting the locals, he "just wants to look." Makes me feel better about the kind of travel I sometimes do.
Larry also is very candid: if he doesn't like a town or its people, he says so. No sugar coating here. He throws in lots of stories from his past, because he's traveled a lot of these roads in the distant past and wants to see them again. I found the book refreshing, and at times laugh out loud funny.
