Summary: I loved it...I felt like I was along for the ride!
Review: Reading "Crossing the Desert" was a completely refreshing and unexpected experience. The journey taken by the two main characters, Henry and Susan, is fascinating and exhilarating, with surprises and twists around each cactus and curve in the road. This story kept me hooked from beginning to end with its beautiful imagery, humor, and intense characters. The relationship between the two main characters is unusually dynamic. Toward the end of the story you feel as if you really know them and cheer them on for what they have been through together, and also where they may be headed next. Ken Rubin conveys the essence of the American Southwest so accurately and beautifully, that you will feel like you are right there, breathing the pure air and witnessing the amazing sunsets. If you are like me, you will feel a strong urge to pack up and head toward the desert after reading this "motorized novel." The superb writing in this story will really make you think, possibly reevaluate, and definitely smile.
