Less Beaten Paths of America: Quirky and Offbeat Roadside Attractions [Kindle Unlimited] — David C. Kravetz (Introduction + 10 titled chapters) Aug. 5, 2019

A continuation of the series that I started reading with Unique Town Names. I had forgotten I had read this book until I found it on my Kindle already read, and then I found this review.

This book is best viewed on your computer or with a iPad or Fire tablet. There are numerous photos in here that do no justice on a Kindle e-reader.

Some of the roadside attracts are big bird statues; car art; metal art; and one chapter call “really big statues.”

All were fascinating reads and I made a few notes of places I would like to visit. There were a few places that no longer exist, and that was sad to read.

Overall, a great quirky read.

Four stars.`

Roadside America lite

This would have made a better website than a book. The last chapter is actually about a very detailed website that the author really enjoys! Odd and overall charming but only viable as a free book, otherwise stay away.

Not at all what I expected. It comes across as a book the group that hung out with Red Green would read.

Fun book!

The author of this series of books has done quite well in delivering the goods about roadside attractions. Fun reading and informative.

Lacking

I was disappointed with this book. I really enjoyed his book about the funny names of some towns but the narrative for this book was lacking.
