4.0 out of 5 stars Typical Burt, November 9, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: The Fabulous Trashwagon (Last Open Road) (Hardcover)

Well, I read this book in one day. Started it, and 24 hours later I was done. Didn't want to set it down. If you liked Burt's previous two books, I'll bet you like this one as well.

What supprised me the most was reading about some of the folks who Buddy meets along his adventures and thinking "Hey, I know/knew those folks, too." It certainly made the book more interesting for me.

The only down side was, since I had a preview edition, there were enough typos to be distracting. Shouldn't be an issue as the final version is supposed to be out.

Burt does get extra credit for having the advertising section in the middle of the book. It's a great idea.

This review is from: The Fabulous Trashwagon (Last Open Road) (Hardcover)

"The Last Open Road" was great, I loaned it to more than twenty friends, car nuts and non-carnuts, and gave copies as gifts. Everyone loved it. This is the second sequel (and probably the last from the way the plot develops). If you enjoyed the first two you'll enjoy this as well but, standing alone, it's not as good as the second ("Montezuma's Ferrari") which wasn't as good as the first.

I've read the whole Buddy Palumbo saga now. This is a good entry in the series, stronger than Montezuma's Ferrari, but not equal to the joy and surprises of The Last Open Road. This story takes Buddy back to the road courses of the USA, driving and wrenching on his customers cars while he builds his own. Pretty predictable and with the obligatory happy ending, it's still a lot of fun, and Mr Levy does a great job of transporting the reader back in time to the golden era of sportscar racing.
