My Review

Reading this book, brought a real smile on my face because it was just as I was
sitting on a motorbike on a tour through the United States of America, traveling
from motel to motel.

I really liked the fab book cover and all the pictures, just as the clear chapters
and the consequent lay-out. 

It was very interesting to read the history of the motels in the USA and of the
different motels too. Each chapter was a good review and a fantastic description
of the motels! Keep up the travel and your excellent writing work!

Without any doubt I want to give this book a 5* rating!

I would recommend Sleeping Around in America to anyone who loves excellent
travel memoirs with amazing pictures.
