This review is from: Route 66 Greyhound Tales From Route 66 (Paperback)

I bought the book for my dad, a retired Greyhound driver, but of course I read it too. Despite a number of typos, the book does a great job of covering the ups and downs of the business. The author has an engaging style of storytelling - it reminded me of many of the stories my dad would tell when he came home from a trip. My dad related well to it. But the chapter about the bus that wouldn't quit running...he hadn't laughed that hard in a long time!
