Title: Not what I expected
Review: I expected more thorough descriptions. I ordered Readers Digest Most Scenic Drives in America and was much more pleased. I probably should have returned The Open Road since Iâm not going to use it. Maybe I can give to someone else.

Title: Personalized and Informative
Review: There's nothing so American as the road trip, and this book ensures you make your next one an adventure to write home about. EVERY detail is covered, from this history of a route or destination to the right playlist for singing along. The author clearly cares very much about each place covered: There's something of a personal touch to the writing that makes it feel like a friend is offering you sage advice. A worthy companion for your next drive!

Title: Extensive, easy to navigate book for your next adventure!
Review: I received the Open Road as a holiday gift and am using it to plan spring break and summer road trips. This book is extensive (covers the U.S.!) but very easy to navigate. The guide has realistic plans with interesting stops noted to break up the drives. Great maps, photos, dining and roadside stop suggestions. It would make a great gift for retirees, families or those looking for ideas and reasons to explore the open road. (My 9 year old loves looking through it, too.) Perfect for summer!
