Reseñas editoriales
Rick and Peter are just two of the innumerable travelers to venture across long stretch of asphalt famously known as Route 66. The travelogue of these two friends' journey as they drive through the multifaceted landscape of America, is like a love letter to the forgotten corners of the country - found on lonely disintegrating sections of road. Route 66 Still Kicks is stupendous fun and endlessly amusing. Brian Troxell's outstanding performance brilliantly retells stories of yesteryear and yesterday. This audiobook is a perfect companion for those long drives down long highways.
Resumen del Editor
A wild ride through America’s heartlands.“You’ll never understand America until you’ve driven Route 66—that’s old Route 66—all the way,” a truck driver in California once said to author Rick Antonson. “It’s the most famous highway in the world.” With some determination, grit, and a good sense of direction, one can still find and drive on 90 percent of the original Route 66 today.
This travelogue follows Rick and his travel companion Peter along 2,400 miles through eight states from Chicago to Los Angeles as they discover the old Route 66. With surprising and obscure stories about Route 66 personalities like Woody Guthrie, John Steinbeck, Al Capone, Salvador Dali, Dorothea Lange, Cyrus Avery (the Father of Route 66), the Harvey Girls, Mickey Mantle, and Bobby Troup (songwriter of “(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66”), Antonson’s fresh perspective reads like an easy drive down a forgotten road: winding, stopping now and then to mingle with the locals and reminisce about times gone by, and then getting stuck in the mud, sucked into its charms. Rick mixes hilarious anecdotes of happenstance travel with the route’s difficult history, its rise and fall in popularity, and above all, its place in legend. The author has committed part of his book’s proceeds to the preservation work of the National Route 66 Federation.
Reseñas de la Crítica
“One of the best books of the bunch.” (The New York Times Roundup of Holiday Travel Books)
“A must for Route 66 aficionados.” (Chicago Tribune)
“The most impressive account of a road trip I have ever read.” (Paul Taylor, publisher of Route 66 Magazine)
“A middle-age Woodstock in motion, an encounter with an America that isn’t as lost as we think...in the end Antonson proves that Route 66 indeed still kicks - as does America.” (Keith Bellows, editor in chief, National Geographic Traveler)

Philip Caputo, who had just turned 70, his wife, and their two English setters took off in a truck hauling an Airstream camper from Key West, Florida, en route via back roads and state routes to Deadhorse, Alaska. The journey took four months and covered 17,000 miles, during which Caputo interviewed more than 80 Americans from all walks of life to get a picture of what their lives and the life of the nation are really about in the 21st century.

Historia
For 30 years, drummer, author, and songwriter Neil Peart had wanted to write a book about "the biggest journey of all in my restless existence: the life of a touring musician." Finally, the right time, and the right tour. In the summer of 2004, after three decades, 20 gold albums, and thousands of performances, the band Rush embarked on a 30th Anniversary World Tour. The "R30" tour traveled to nine countries, where the band performed 57 shows for more than half a million fans. Uniquely, Peart chose to do his between-show traveling by motorcycle, riding 21,000 miles of back roads.

Historia
Celebrity Charles James can't shake the nightmare that wakes him each night. He sees himself walking down a long, broken highway, the sides of which are lit in flames. Where is he going? Why is he walking? What is the wailing he hears around him? By day he wonders why he's so haunted and unhappy when he has all he ever wanted - fame, fans, and fortune and the lavish lifestyle it affords him. Coming from a childhood of poverty and pain, this is what he's dreamed of. But now, at the pinnacle of his career, he's started to wonder if he's wanted the wrong things.

Nearly 30 years later, Ted Simon took to the road again to retrace the epic journey he made in his 40s.

He writes about the geography, the resources, the native peoples, the history, the 40-below midwinter afternoons, the bugs. The book brims with Mongols, half-crazed Orthodox archpriests, fur seekers, ambassadors of the czar bound for Peking, tea caravans, German scientists, American prospectors, intrepid English nurses, and prisoners and exiles of every kind....

Riding the rails, Ted Conover tasted the life of a tramp with companions like Pistol Pete, BB, and Sheba Sheila Sheils. From them he learned survival skills - how to "read" a freight train, scavenge for food and clothing, avoid the railroad "bulls." He was initiated into the customs of their unique, shadowy society - men and women bound together by a mutual bond of failure, camaraderie, and distrust.

Tom Zoellner loves trains with a ferocious passion. In his new audiobook he chronicles the innovation and sociological impact of the railway technology that changed the world, and could very well change it again. From the frigid Trans-Siberian Railroad to the antiquated Indian Railways to the futuristic maglev trains, Zoellner offers a stirring story of man's relationship with trains. Zoellner examines both the mechanics of the rails and their engines and how they helped societies evolve. Not only do trains transport people and goods in an efficient manner, but they also reduce pollution and dependency upon oil.

Often in a van, sometimes in a bus, occasionally in a car with broken wipers "using Bob's belt and a rope found by Paddy's Pond" to pull them back and forth, Alan and his bandmates charted new territory, and he constantly measured what he saw of the vast country against what his forefathers once called the Daemon Canada. In a period punctuated by triumphant leaps forward for the band, deflating steps backward, and everything in between.

Fun Trip
I first had my curiosity piqued about Route 66 years ago when I helped my daughter and her family move from South Carolina to Arizona. This was a fun and very informative book that made me feel I was finally taking the journey myself. It was a delight to read and experience.

Good listen with a bit of history
Good listen with a bit of history to tie it all together. Not a traveler guide but a romance with the road trip to inspire travel.

Best Account of the Old Route
I have listened to a lot of audio books about traveling Route 66. I have interviewed many experts on Route 66. But there is something about this book that plops you right in the middle of it all. You really get to feel what the route was all about. You get close with the people they encountered along the way and feel the sadness that it is no more.
Mr. Antonson and his traveling companion Pete, certainly had their moments on this trip. At times you will feel like pummeling Pete for his cranky demeanor and other times you will praise him for his practicality. I applaud Mr. Antonson for his patience through the whole trip and managing to maintain a friendship with Pete..... and not pummeling him.
The Narrator, Brian Troxell, did a wonderful job of bringing us along on the trip in that Mustang. His voice was smooth and his diction was perfect. His tonality didn't bore me or make me wish it was over, in fact, I was sort of sad when the book came to an end.
I love audio books like this. A great adventure and a great story of the Mother Road with two friends, in a totally inappropriate vehicle for the job. Look for an interview with Rick Antonson on my podcast. www.motorcyclemen.us
I will not invoke the 10 second rule however.

so much variation
The book alternates scenes to keep it interesting. They describe a place, then they get into the friendship quirks of our 2 travelers. Then they talk history of the road. Then they meet a random person on the road who seems to be symbolic of some American trait. Then repeat.

Definitely a Kick!
Having recently completed a 6,100 mile road-loop of our West and Mid-west US acreage, over 2,000 miles of it being on Old Route 66, this fabulous journalistic approach of story telling leaves me wanting to relive our journey. Fabulous! Friend Pete is the perfect traveling foil. Bravo to a story well told!

Great way to vicariously travel Route 66
Enjoyable listen as Rick Antonson takes us from Chicago to L.A. on America's Main Road. So much of the main road is no longer as it was, and the author helps us understand the history of this road, as well as set expectations in the event you want to make your own journey.

Dreaming of a road trip
I am in the process of planning a road trip on Route 66 and this book has made me even more excited. It gives many ideas of places to stop and the history that goes along with the mother road.

Fun if you’ve driven parts
I like narratives about travel. They take me places I might never go. This one covers almost all of the route in easy to handle chapters that glide along at a smooth pace. You won’t be wowed but you won’t be bored. There’s a nice mix of travelogue and history, personality and scenery. Don’t worry about the material seeming dated by it’s 2012 publication - this is intended to be nostalgia at its best.
