Roads to Quoz: An American Mosey Audiobook

" William Least Heat Moon is a lot like Bill Bryson. In this book, he "moseys" across America searching for the offbeat & meeting up with lots of memorable characters. I enjoyed listening to this book, especially the part about the Low Country & the Gullah people of South Carolina. "

" 3 1/2 rounded up to 4. I could have given it a 5 if he hadn't gotten so wordy in places. There were parts I just had to skip over, but the rest of the book mostly made up for it. I realize that wouldn't bother a lot of people, but I tend to start skimming books after a hundred or so pages as it is. "

" This was WLHM at his best. On the road again, he presents the lives of those he meets, and the country he passes through. Moon is almost poetic, and he treats those he meets with respect. A winner if you love his work. "

" Serendipitous USA travel; "proceed as the way opens" "

" I've loved his previous work, but this was too much of a mosey. "

" Another great road trip. "

" Mr. Least Heat Moon's musings as he sets out across regions of the US, are thought provoking and amusing. It appears that he has fun producing his books, and keeps to a leisurely schedule. "

" I really enjoyed Blue Highways and this was almost as good. He visits many interesting places, meets many interesting people, and does a wonderful job of telling their stories. "

" I didn't like this one as well as I liked Blue Highways, but it was worth the time I invested. Can't quite put my finger on why, though. "

" I could not get into this book "

" Its a long hard read that in the end I just couldn't finish. I think it makes a good book to browse through occasionally, but to read the whole thing was a 6 month long process and I couldn't do it! "

" "Travels with Charley" for the logophile. "

" If you liked Blue Highways, you will like this book too. It is a lot longer read. It is also a slightly different look on may of the same subjects. More detail sometimes that maybe is required, but that is his style. Overall it is a very good read. "

" It was fun going on the trip with Wm. and Q - I especially enjoyed the part about the RailCycle - sounds like fun! "

" I read only the last section, "Down an Old Waterway," pp. 497-562, which tells of a journey down the Intracoastal Waterway, because we will have a journey on that waterway in late April, going in the opposite direction, from Jacksonville, FL to Charleston, SC. "

" Very querky sense of humor that matches something in me. I love his meanderings. "

" Not your average travel book. If you're looking for something about offbeat places, read this. The author's style takes awhile to get used to, but I quite liked it. I wish some states (i.e. Kentucky) weren't overlooked, though. "

" A big long book. William L H-M travels in a way that few travellers today take the time to enjoy. He sees things many would never notice and puts things together in a way that makes things more interesting than common descriptions. "

" I bought this book for my mother and borrowed it back over Christmas. Wonderfully fantastic, and I think I'd like to meet this author, who shares my love for useless information. Quoztastic! "

" Interesting trip across the country on back roads looking for unusual places and people. It's a very long book that's easy to pick up and enjoy in short spurts. "

" This isn't the greatest William Least Heat-Moon book, but it was thoughtful, and a wonderful opportunity to revisit his excellent prose style. "

" 'Americas greatest chronicler of blue highways has returned' says the dust jacket. He has and he has some excellent stories, beautifully told. But one has to wade through a lot of dross to savor them. "

" I really enjoyed Blue Highways and this was almost as good. He visits many interesting places, meets many interesting people, and does a wonderful job of telling their stories. "
