Underground : USA

by Geoff Marshall

After three years of living in America and with a divorce to get over, this Guinness World Record Holder [fastest time to visit all London Underground stations] goes on a road trip to all 48 mainland states of America, visiting towns and cities that share the names of places on the London Tube map Geoff blogged, took photos and videos as he went, and also continuously tweeted on his travels, which formed the back bone of notes for this book. An insight into rural and small-town America from an Englishman's perspective.

[Mesembryanthemum · Rating 4 out of 5]

On the surface, this is a book about a random quest to visit towns in the US that share names with London's tube stops. But it's really a classic road trip story about a man who discovers himself as he discovers America. I was charmed, despite the occasional typo in this self-published work. Thanks, Geoff, for taking this armchair traveller along on your trip. I can't wait to see the documentary on YouTube.

I enjoyed this insight into Geoff's experiences - whose tube/train videos I love - but oh my word did it need a proof reader.
Managed to overcome the irritation to focus on the journey but it was a close run thing at times.
