alisarae's review against another edition
Joan Didion takes beautiful notes and I wish my journal entries were as insightful and full of promise as hers. However, this is just a collection of notes and memories, snippets of conversations or passing billboards. It's not that motivating to keep reading to get to the next part because there isn't continuity. The most interesting part was her conversations with white people in Mississippi just after desegregation. Again, just snippets, and I wish there had been more there. She, from what I understand in this book, never wrote an essay on her experiences roadtripping through the South. Ah well.
corneliabull's review against another edition
Jeg elsker Joan Didion, sånn er det bare. Har prøvd å tenke litt på hvorfor, og klarer ikke helt å sette fingeren på det.. Det er noe med hvordan hun observerer og beskriver (totalt uinteressante) ting som bare speaks to me, og jeg SLUKER det:) Gleder meg til neste allerede<3

A great travel companion. Didion's notes helped me observe my own adventures better. But no one will ever be as sharp as Joan.

the last page of this book - rather the last paragraph - has got to be one of my favorite endings I’ve ever read, as it perfectly encapsulates my relationship and yearning for the West.

Es war mein erstes Buch von Joan Didion und ich mochte ihren Schreibstil und manche Absätze, aber insgesamt hat es mich nicht abgeholt.
