I loved everything but the ending which bumped it down to four stars.

I read this novel for a conversational French course in college, which was a bit challenging, but still managed to be enjoyable.

Ouin, je n'ai vraiment pas aimé. J'ai failli l'abandonner en cours de route, mais j'ai persévéré, en lisant TRÈS en diagonale pour le dernier tiers du livre. La prémisse était bonne au départ, mais je n'ai pas aimé les personnages (sauf le petit Chop Suey hehe), et l'intrigue... bof. Je ne suis pas fanatique d'histoire et je n'aime pas les livres que l'auteur fait juste nous garrocher pleins de faits historiques dans le visage. C'est un livre pour les fanatiques d'histoire et de géographie, pas pour moi.

Just ok. Not sure what all the fuss was about.

Great Book! It is essentially a french canadian man's search for his lost brother, along with his native female sidekick. The pair traverse the united states, exploring the country much like the early french settlers did, following the oregon trail, and finally ending up in California. Each chapter has a significant story told in it, a way of passing the time while on the road. It is a road trip novel, very similar to Jack Kerouac's On the Road. I recommend this book to everyone. Really easy read!
