This wonderful account of four solo bus trips taken by ageing physician and road-addict Trevor Watson breathes new life into the much-loved travelogue genre.
Narrated masterfully by the author himself, we are taken on a journey across America, as - with open heart and curious mind - Trevor explores the netherworld of long-distance bus travel. Whether he’s chatting with outlaws and mystics, hobnobbing with Mormons in Utah, plunging into Mark Twain’s glorious Mississippi or discovering what happens at the end of the line, Watson’s love of people, oddity and language is deeply engaging and a genuine pleasure to hear.
Hop on the bus - you’re in for a real treat!
©2020 Acorn Books (P)2020 Acorn BooksBut I'm giving up on it less than an hour into the book. The author narrated his own book and I wish he hadn't. The constant smacking of his lips and his sniffs and breaths make it unlistenable for me. There is a kind of hiss in the background too that starts and stops. It wasn't apparent from the preview otherwise I wouldn't have bought it in the first place.
Others may feel differently but I'm returning this one. I will most likely get the kindle version as I'm still interested in the content.
I really wanted to like it...
