Query: Off the Roads

The moment McMurtry gets "on the road" his lack of passion or even interest in the roads that he traverses becomes obvious. "ROADS" is a haphazard mutt of a book: it is part memoir, part book review, and part history of America. He does not stop for anything, except the occasional burrito at a gas station or night at a Holiday Inn. Since he is not exploring, the scenes are long, usually tiring commentaries about events that have happened in the towns that he passes at seventy miles per hour. McMurtry's love for the plains occasionally shines through, but ROADS is otherwise lacking in the perfect storytelling that made him famous.
