Don't let the unassuming appearance of this book dissuade you from reading it. If you do, you'll be missing a thoroughly enjoyable reading experience. Lawrence McGuire has crafted a wonderfully sweet (and at times, bittersweet) story of three different souls who have been brought together by a search for "something else" in their lives. It starts off at a somewhat leisurely pace but before long, things really start happening.
Because "The Great American Wagon Road" is the first book of a planned trilogy, it does end leaving you wanting more, as a well-written series should.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and can't wait for "The Gathering at Big Sur".

A friend of mine gave me this book. I found it very readable. The author is able to express complicated ideas clearly, and the characters are vivid. I read the book very quickly, on a flight from New York to San Francisco. I recognized a couple a American 'types', who seem very accurately drawn.

The main weakness of the book is that, though it culminates with a long exciting chapter, it ends with an unfinished feeling. This is probably because it is part one of a trilogy. I'm definitely looking forward to reading book 2 if it ever comes out.

The stuff about Krisnamurti made me want to learn more about the man.

I recemmend this book to everybody. It's well written, that's the main thing. Smooth and easy to read.
