5.0 out of 5 stars
Inspiring,
By joeindover "joeindover" (Dover, NH) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Majic Bus: An American Odyssey (Paperback)
This book will inspire you to plan and take a great American roadtrip of your own. Brinkley treats America's best road house eateries and greatest historic landmarks with equal reverence. What I loved most about this book is that he constantly reminds you that many of the simplest pleasures we take for granted in America are actually unique landmarks of both human and historic interest. A must read for teachers!
5.0 out of 5 stars
Almost as much fun reading about it as living it!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Majic Bus (Paperback)
Kudos to Dr. Brinkley for both his book and his concept of a traveling classroom. (Having been on art history tours in Europe--thank you Andy S.--I know how seeing art, architecture, meeting the people and tasting the food brings the lessons of art and history to life). This book stirs my interest in various parts of the United States. However, ours is a vast country, and more books are needed to cover areas neglected in the first trip.

Hop on the bus,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Majic Bus (Paperback)
I picked up a copy last year and can honestly say it has changed the way I look at this country and our cultural heritage. It's honest, witty, quirky and impossible to put down.
