Not Tonight, Josephine

A Road Trip Through Small-Town America

By: George Mahood

Narrated by: Nathaniel Priestley

Two Brits, George and Mark, set off from New York City to explore the back roads of America. In this calamity-ridden travel tale, George sets out in true clichéd fashion to discover the real America.

Throw in plenty of run-ins with the police, rapidly dwindling finances, and Josephine - the worst car in the world - and you have all the ingredients for a classic American road trip. Will George and Mark make it all the way to California?

And then there is Rachel, George's girlfriend, left back in England. Would travelling to the United States without her turn out to be the stupidest decision he had ever made?

Very Enjoyable Book

This book brought back memories of my winter solo 6 week camping trip across this country from RI to PA, on to MI, then across central US to NM. It was a wonderful experience traveling in the winter - less traffic and a lot less people. I lived in my new van, I outfitted it with everything I needed. I made this trip before cellphones - in 1994.

The US has incredible things to see, experience, and enjoy. I just hope those interested in discovering all that it has to offer will have the opportunity to enjoy it before it’s lost.

I highly recommend this book. The writer make feel and enjoy his wonderful experiences!

Fun book

Absolutely loved this book. It is hilarious and fun, outlining America’s quirkiness, while George grows up on the road.

Delightfully fun!

I highly recommend this Audible book. The story is a treasure of first hand experiences, many of which made me laugh out loud and sometimes made me feel as if I were there along on the trip. The narration is first rate. It felt like the author was talking to us personally. It all fit together perfectly. There are small towns mentioned that I’d like to find myself.

Very entertaining

I really enjoyed how this story was narrated, kept me smiling and I definitly laughed out loud several times.

Entertaining and light

George Mahood captures a glimpse of American life on his journey, and does a good job of capturing that in this book. A fun, light travel journal that I very much enjoyed.
