America the Beautiful?: One Woman in a Borrowed Prius on the Road Most Traveled by Blythe Roberson

adventurous informative inspiring medium-paced

4.5

I appreciated that the author enjoyed her experience, shared with us the beautiful moments of the National Parks, but also mentioned how problematic some aspects of the park system and the US (and climate change etc) are. It has some little funny bits, although not super funny, it showed personality and that is a highlight. It also mentioned parks I was not familiar with and ones I’d been to before! It is very satisfying to have somebody else enjoy somewhere that you love as well. This book makes me appreciate the road trip my family and I went on when I was 10 and makes me want to take another big one again. I admire the author for this big adventure. I feel inspired by her solo travel (which I also love to do) and I’m glad she didn’t get murdered.
