 Great book, but a little disappointing January 26, 2007
12 out of 12 found this review helpful
I bought this book for my husband for Christmas. He had heard from some car buddies that Mike Wallis was an expert on Route 66 and this book was supposed to be the be all and end all of Route 66 books. Well ... we're nearly finished READING the book, but it's in no way a guide to Route 66! We both assumed (first mistake!!!) that it was more of a guide ... the what to do's when your here on Route 66 kind of book and it's absolutely not that. It's the history of Route 66 with a plethera of interesting facts and fantastic Then and Now pictures. The disappointment lies in the fact that we thought this was a guide not a literary book. Now we're looking for the "guide" to Route 66 to tell us the things that are not to be missed.
 Wonderful book, great storyteller, brings old road to life! December 7, 1997

Wallis is a skillful storyteller who brings this highway alive! He ignites in the reader the desire to travel the road & get to know the cast of characters who live & work on the shoulders of Rt 66. Lots of great memories for baby boomers who took family driving vacations. The book reminds us that so much of what we love about America; the "mom & pop" businesses, the quirky tourist attractions and the good people are still out there, waiting to be rediscovered on Route 66.
