Set in the spring, summer and fall of 1952, it's an entertaining and oft-hilarious coming-of-age tale told by an engaging 19-year-old New Jersey gas-station mechanic named Buddy Palumbo, whom several reviewers have likened to Holden Caulfield in Catcher in the Rye. Buddy's a true working-class hero whose mean-spirited, bullying father is a union shop steward at a big chemical plant in Newark, and he wants Buddy to work there, too. But Buddy hates the place, and really wants to hang around the corner gas station—Finzio's Sinclair in Passaic—and learn how to fix cars.

Incredible Audio Version of an Incredible Book
Revisado: 07-07-22
Last Open Road is a cult classic among racing fans, hot rodders, car people in general, and the gals and guys that know and love those people. This audio version is a masterpiece! Full of professional and celebrity narrators, every voice is a spot on perfect match for the book's characters. And that includes the "voice" of otherwise inanimate objects like the rumbling exhaust of a 1951 Jaguar XK 120 or a bolt snapping off a stud with the scraped knuckle curse to follow! It was 17 hours long and I wish it was twice that.
If you have not read the book, know that it is extremely well written, is hilarious, and it captures the essence of its characters so well that you actually recognize them as people you know in your own life. If you have read the book then do yourself a favor and listen to this version. It literally feels like an academy award winning screen version of your favorite novel!
