Felt like I was along for the ride...............

What an amazing journey! Scoops you up and takes you on the ride from the 1st page -- emotional, raw, and REAL. Phil brings you right to the images, smells, and reality of traveling. Fabulous, fast read.

Escaping our boundries with laughs and tears

An extremely easy read. Motivating to search our inner self and find the desire and will to explore all that life and this great country has to offer. A book that will be very difficult to put down and will cause pain in the side from laughing so much as well as blood shot eyes from the tears that flow. The author opens himself up to feelings and emotions that we have all experienced in our lives and does it in a humorous and loving way. Strongly suggest reading this book and enjoying the delicious recipes from this professional chef.

I have NEVER been so moved. I am so impressed.

Excerpt from a letter sent to author on first reading of TRL: 28 Aug 2006 by Melinda Roberts At the risk of sounding like a totally crazy, unstable stalker chick, I am so touched you trusted me with your manuscript and that you let me in like that. The Road letters is an incredible moving love story, happy and sad all at once--you... you... you. I was with you all the way cheering you on and not wanting to touch you, to let it unfold. In the airport, on the plane, here out at the marina between the waterfalls and the boats, the sun setting between the masts in front of me, I have been totally subsumed and sucked in. I was vaguely aware of people staring as I sniffed and then coughed, and looking up as I threw my head back and did the whole hyena thing and wiping my eyes under my glasses. Normally people ask me what I'm reading (It's like I have a sign on my forehead) but this time it was if no one wanted to break the spell, the feelings. Thank you for sharing this with me.. thank you. Thank you. I wanted to tell you all this while I was still full of it and feeling it and wishing to God the main characters could get together. And for the record, I have been asked to read and review many books, and while I have appreciated, and laughed, and suggested, and asked questions, I have NEVER been so moved. I am so impressed. I still have tears on my cheeks. Mindy www.themommyblog.com

Packing Punches!

As Presented to me: Gabby, from New York has this to say: 23 Aug 2006 (updated 24 Aug 2006) As someone who has already read the book and who has purchased some copies for my book club, I would highly recommend it for you all who enjoy a fun read, a tear jerker, a laugh-out-loud read, an "I can really relate to that" read... It really reads quick and easy but also packs some punches and leaves you thinking! Comment taken from [...]

Heartwarming!

An amazing story about love, life and loss. Ribaudo captures the true meaning of life and the secret to pure happiness - to love yourself and to enjoy the journey, no matter where it takes you... I was moved to tears - both of sadness and of joy. It was great to experience Nick's journey with him - I felt like I had actually been in the passenger seat of his Nissan 240. I would definitely read this again - AND try some of the recipes!
