In Travels with Charlie, William and Charlotte Stronghold quit their jobs and sell their belongings in order to set sail and find a new home somewhere between their native California and the green mountains of Vermont. Along the way, they fall in love and into hate with the popular culture that binds Americans together. The lines are blurred between shady roadside attractions and heralded national monuments, between the natural wonders of the country and the loud and annoying tourists who populate them, between the concepts of place and self.

Fun listen for a commuter-honest, funny, and real

I enjoyed this book and the way it was read. It made me laugh on many occasions and brought back memories of my own travels as both a kid and an adult. It was like listening to my best friend tell me stories as we had conversations over dinner or drinks. I thought the style was creative and liked the critiques of some of America's "hot spots." I have yet to visit Grand Canyon (not THE Grand Canyon!) but MUST make a point of it now that I have listened to this book. I enjoyed the hefty dose of reality when it came to descriptions of being newly married (and broke) and of encounters with different types of people from coast to coast. I'm not sure if others would enjoy the narratives around eating and having to pee as much as I did, but it was quite humorous to me. I was most certainly entertained by listening to this book. I have a feeling that reading it on one's own would not do the book justice. Hearing it read by the author is likely the best way to "read" this book to get the intent and the humor I believe the author hoped to convey. Overall, I thought the book was great and would certainly read another book by this author.
