Not your average travel book
Most of the time, reading about someone else's travels seems unreal somehow--a bunch of surreal experiences that would never happen to you. Reid Kerr's book is different: unique, funny, and most of all, real. Most of us have been on the kind of trips Reid talks about. Most of us, however, aren't as good at telling stories, or as funny, as Reid is here. Do yourself a favor and get your hands on this quick, funny read.

If you love to travel and love to laugh, I Hate It Here: A Love Story is a must read. Reid Kerr has a true gift for finding the humor in his many excursions, although it's the humor that usually seems to find its way to him.
His tales are witty and, for those of us who like to channel Jack Kerouac and hit the road on a regular basis, completely relatable. I laughed out loud several times — especially while reading "The Bus That Wasn't" chapter. Reid has a true gift for spinning a yarn.
Do yourself a favor and make some time to enjoy the marriage of Reid's wanderlust and irreverent humor. After all, you just might need something to read in the bus station or the airport.

Hilarious! From beginning to end. And if you have not been to Beaumont, skip it, because every laugh out loud description he gives is spot on.

When you find yourself laughing so hard tears run down your face, you know you’ve found a great book. Hilarious anecdotes of the misadventures of a small town guy travelling to big, and not so big, cities kept me rolling. Kerr’s satirical descriptions of horrid motels, poor dining choices, road conditions, and family vacations gone wrong were beyond amusing. In some ways, this book is a cross between Mark Twain and Justin Halpern, and I just loved it.
