I laughed till I cried tears!! Very vivid in his writing, you feel like you were a fly on the wall and living the dream with them! WONDERFUL READ!
It was nice to read a book like this in the world today!

This was one of the best books I've read in a long time. Mike Leonard has a way with words in describing this multi-generational life experience. I laughed so hard during parts of the book. What a sweet and funny tribute to his family.
hilarious January 7, 2008
This book is a joy to read. Mike Leonard's description of this ultimate road trip has you laughing out loud, and, for a few minutes of insanity, thinking this would be a good idea for your own family!
 Fun! January 5, 2008
The book was fun, light, endearing and most enjoyable! Mike's parents are cute characters that I can envision in my own family! In addition to the book as it is, I would have liked to hear a bit more detail about the trip itself, and their stop overs.(And any interesing incidents!) All in all, it's a fun story, and I wish I traveled with them!

Why Mike Leonard should choose to portray his parents like this defies common sense. His mother comes across as a charmless lush; his father is a sap. And Leonard himself seems simultaneously crude and righteous. The story crawls along, engine failing, as colorless and uneventful as a prairie midwestern landscape. How could such distasteful "characters" prove so boring?
