Okay, the guy really needs to focus, even though he's done all those with success and perfection.
Thankfully, the one thing he hasn't attained is the perfect trip. It doesn't matter where he's been. Stuff just finds him. He's a force of nature. Of course these are all unavoidable when you factor in baseball road trips, countless Hawaii excursions, countlesser (is that a word?) anti-paradises (is that another word?), and a family that's even more of a collective smartass than he could ever be. That's saying something.
If you want to see Disneyland, Cleveland, Las Vegas and Park City, Utah through the senses of someone who can find the comedy in just about anything, read this. Then try to take your next trip without a cynical view or a stiff drink.
No, actually I did read it. Tremendous fun. Ken Levine has a great eye and ear for the absurd -- which is fortunate because odd-ball things keep happening in his vicinity. My favorite tale was of a seven-year-old Mets fan celebrating his birthday at Shea Stadium. Won't spoil it for you -- but it is worth the price of admission -- which, quite fortunately was only $2.99.
I am looking forward to more tales of the absurd -- and since Ken will be doing some play-by-play for the Seattle Mariners this season they shouldn't be hard to find.
In parts racist, misogynistic and childlike, this book is an utter disaster.
Mr. Levine's chapters are collections of little observations about the various places he's visited, a format some might take issue with (since they're not *quite* essays), but I found this breezy, stream-of-consciousness style just perfect for filling a few minutes of reading time here and there. I've continually found myself chuckling, giggling, and outright cackling, all along the way.
I have to say, I'm not sure I'd recommend this for reading while on a plane or train - your seatmates might wonder why you keep guffawing and waking them up!
Well done, Mr. Levine!
My overall impression of Levin's book is of a very quick-witted friend's take on the joys and travails of modern travel. This isn't adventure travel (though any time you get on an airplane, "adventure" is one possible result), but the insights are fresh and amusing.
Good stuff. Lightweight and a little chatty, but by turns entertaining and hilarious.
This one is a quick read and I smiled the whole way through and have recommended it to others. I hope he write's some more soon as I would definitely buy it (or them).
