Summary
When his sister tricks him into taking her guru on a trip to their childhood home, Otto Ringling, a confirmed skeptic, is not amused. Six days on the road with an enigmatic holy man who answers every question with a riddle is not what he'd planned. But in an effort to westernize his passenger---and amuse himself---he decides to show the monk some "American fun" along the way. From a chocolate factory in Hershey to a bowling alley in South Bend, from a Cubs game at Wrigley field to his family farm near Bismarck, Otto is given the remarkable opportunity to see his world---and more important, his life---through someone else's eyes. Gradually, skepticism yields to amazement as he realizes that his companion might just be the real thing. In Roland Merullo's masterful hands, Otto tells his story with all the wonder, bemusement, and wry humor of a man who unwittingly finds what he's missing in the most unexpected place.

Thoughtful
There are some enjoyable and funny moments as well as some thought provoking ideas. Can sometimes feel a little ‘preachy’ and difficult to relate to the American way of living to the English way. The previous book I had read of Merullos was the road trip in Italy of the Pope and Dalai Lama which had European charm. For me this was missing this time. Still enjoyable however.

Terrible
Not sure what accent the narrator was trying to do for Rinpoche but it was very odd and it ruined the listening experience
