Rating:  Summary: An inspiration for people seeking adventure Review: A great read!!! I was facinated by this couple's journey. Based on their descriptions, I now know of at least ten places I need to visit soon. It was also very enlightening to read about the pros/cons of RV travel. I, too, share the dream of ditching the fast-paced life and taking a huge adventure. This book let me live that adventure without taking the risk.
Rating:  Summary: Mildly Interesting, poorly written/edited Review: I agree with some readers that this could provide some inspiration to make a change in your life. It certainly is a cool adventure, and I am envious. But they did it at an easy time in their lives. It was early in their careers, they didn't have any children - obviously an easy time to save money for an adventure like this.The poor writing and grammatical mechanics certainly detract from the story. I can't help but wonder what their MSU professors would think of their writing skills. I would suggest that Theresa leave Bert's comments completely out of their next book - the guy is so negative and can't seem to say much of anything pleasant about anything. In fact, by the end of the book, I felt sorry for this seemingly chipper, cheerful gal stuck with this gloomy Gus. Couldn't he find anything pleasant to write about?!? I also gagged every time I read about their love for Bush, Rush and their conservative political views. Those ideas are certainly best left out of a book of this sort! It is amusing that they think they've done something so novel and daring (quitting their jobs, rv camping, bra-less, oh my!) - I guess that is pretty daring for staunch republicans.
Rating:  Summary: A Dream We All Wish We Could Follow Review: I thoroughly enjoyed the Sherman's experience of life on the road. They are an amazing couple with an incredible dog. This book will make you laugh and understand their stress, but most of all, it will make you jealous that a young couple could just leave their jobs and fulfull their quest. I strongly recommend this book for those who would like to follow their dream.........
Rating:  Summary: A book for everyone Review: Thankfully, finally a book written for all ages. With this book, young people can see an alternative life style, even if they can't afford to do the same thing; middle aged people can either dream of chucking it all or be very happy they have a large home, no puppy and no RV repairs; and finally, seniors who can actually try such a trip may be encouraged to do so. The writing style, the humor and the struggles all make for a delightful read.
Rating:  Summary: A quick Read Review: This is a good book - an enjoyable and easy read. It did give me the bug to try something similar - and that's why I read the book in the first place. Only thing is, this book is all B.C. (Before Children). I need the sequel to this book which will teach me how to make this trip After Chidren ( a bit more of a challenge). I recommend it if you are interested in making such a trip or life style change. Oh BTW, George W. Bush sucks and it's a total travisty that he won the 2000 election, Rush Limbaugh is a total idiot, and I really like Canadians - (Guess I didn't have to include that in the review -but I did and I feel much better now!)
Rating:  Summary: A GREAT Adventure Review: You will love this book!!! It will not only entertain you (truely, my husband and I both burst out laughing several times), but will make you evaluate what is important in life and encourage you to pursue your dreams. What a great young couple...with a great dog and a wonderful story!!!
