Praise for Route 66 Still Kicks
“The most impressive account of a road trip I have ever read."
— Paul Taylor, publisher of Route 66 Magazine
“A middle-age Woodstock in motion, an encounter with an America that isn’t as lost as we think…in the end Antonson proves that Route 66 indeed still kicks — as does America”
— Keith Bellows, editor in chief, National Geographic Traveler
“This is America’s favourite highway talking, and Antonson is a superb enabler — so sit back and relax as Route 66 gives up its legendary stories."
— Peter Greenberg, travel editor, CBS News
