Story
Celebrity Charles James can't shake the nightmare that wakes him each night. He sees himself walking down a long, broken highway, the sides of which are lit in flames. Where is he going? Why is he walking? What is the wailing he hears around him? By day he wonders why he's so haunted and unhappy when he has all he ever wanted - fame, fans, and fortune and the lavish lifestyle it affords him. Coming from a childhood of poverty and pain, this is what he's dreamed of. But now, at the pinnacle of his career, he's started to wonder if he's wanted the wrong things.

Story
What would you do if you lost everything - your job, your home, and the love of your life - all at the same time? When it happens to Seattle ad executive Alan Christoffersen, he's tempted by his darkest thoughts. A bottle of pills in his hand and nothing left to live for, he plans to end his misery. Instead, he decides to take a walk. But not any ordinary walk. Taking with him only the barest of essentials, Al leaves behind all that he's known and heads for the farthest point on his map.

I normally love everything Richard Paul Evans and can’t wait for his new books, but this one just didn’t have much story! Lots of history but not much in the way of a plot. Disappointing!

This Cannot be the End -
I love these two books on the Forgotten Road, I hope that there is another book coming to finish out Charles journey to find his Monica and Son and to tell us if Charles is now close to God as he was in his childhood. I will be waiting to hear if another series is coming soon. I love Richard and have all his books in my library.
Your faithful reader and fan.

Route 66 Book Two, Dead and Walking
Change is gradual . . . and painful . . . and it takes us on a long and grueling journey. The hardest part is taking the first step. Charles James is supposed to be dead, so he has the time. And even though he was robbed of his backpack . . . he still has money secreted away in bank accounts that no one can touch. But for the first time since his impoverished childhood, he is actually LIVING like he is destitute . . . seeing the folks on the other side of the tracks . . . the least of these . . . and beginning to cringe at the way he has been treating them . . . since he became a "self made" man. Working alongside these folks since being robbed of his belongings has been an eyeopener for Charles James. And the closer he gets to his destination, as he walks along Route 66, the nearer he comes to having to make a decision: To return to his cushy way of life . . . or to be forever changed by his experiences. I recognized the landmarks along the Mother Road, as I listened, such as Pops, with its neon soda bottle in Arcadia, Oklahoma, where you can get over 700 different flavors of sodas, all in glass bottles. And the many roadside diners along the way. Great listen . . . Stay tuned for Book Three in the Trilogy.

Pedantic
I am writing this review after listening to the first 15 chapters. I just can’t bear to go on. The book reads as though the author just picked up random facts out of a travel book, and not a very good one at that. He manages to describe places without capturing anything of the feel of being there. Ironically I have personal knowledge of a number of the areas mentioned, and there are errors in some of the facts. The author mispronounces the name of the city of Mobile, AL. And residents of Bloomington/Normal do NOT call it Blono. I have never heard that term.
I’m sure the author will make a lot of money off this lazy excuse for a book. I’m sorry to have contributed to that. Steinbeck’s Travels with Charley this is not.

Too Tidy
Dislikes:
-Greed and narcissism were significant aspects of Charles undoing. Sadly, Charles’s solutions to help those in need consists of sharing corrupt money and is given in a way that allows his ego to be fed.
-Decades long dysfunctional relationships are made functional in an hour or so. The damage of dysfunction is scarcely accounted for.
- The downtrodden people Charles encounters seem invented to allow the author to moralize; issues which befuddle humankind are tidily dispatched.
- Amanda’s relationship with Charles is disturbingly servile.
- “Ensign” story, “Ensign” ending. Ugh. Anyone of RPE’s faith will know precisely what I mean.
- The Epilogue. Seriously. Directly after criticizing the tendency of a speaker to summarize what a previous speaker stated, he unbelievably does the same yet worse IMO by citing a scriptural saying. He might just as well have said, “the moral of the story is …”
I’d hoped Books 2 and 3 of the series would be as entertaining AND thought prompting as Book 1. Instead they were a march to the predictable and inevitable story book happy ending for every character of note. Never mind anyone else e.g., Monika’s once-soon-to-be (lawyer) husband. Another complication dispatched.

SO well done!
Excellent story. I love to travel, and so appreciate all the details included—I felt Evans took me along for the walk—and for James’s metamorphosis. I don’t know what parts are fiction, but it doesn’t matter. This human experience offers many truths.
Evans reading of the saga is perfect. I’m about to download the third of the trilogy and and continue the journey with him…..

What a beautiful listen, this one.....
Saw several negative reviews that made me hesitant to continue the series, but the cliff hanger of the previous book won out and so glad it did. Everyone has a story worth telling (both fictious and non fictious characters if you really want to travel down that rabbit hole), but no matter real or contrived, it's in how the story is conveyed that makes others want to hear it. When on some small level you the reader can relate, the connection can be instaneous and suddenly familial. This particular story of a physical and mental journey of personal enlightenment has been an absolute joy to listen to thus far and looking forward to the next leg of his journey!!

Unemployed at 29, Tess Monaghan is willing to take any freelance job to pay the rent—including a bit of unorthodox snooping for her rowing buddy, Darryl "Rock" Paxton. In a city where someone is murdered almost every day, attorney Michael Abramowitz's death should be just another statistic. But the slain lawyer's notoriety—and his noontime trysts with Rock's fiancée—make the case front page news...and point to Rock as the likely murderer. But trying to prove her friend's innocence could prove costly to Tess.

Story
Unemployed at 29, Tess Monaghan is willing to take any freelance job to pay the rent—including a bit of unorthodox snooping for her rowing buddy, Darryl "Rock" Paxton. In a city where someone is murdered almost every day, attorney Michael Abramowitz's death should be just another statistic. But the slain lawyer's notoriety—and his noontime trysts with Rock's fiancée—make the case front page news...and point to Rock as the likely murderer. But trying to prove her friend's innocence could prove costly to Tess.

Lucie Montgomery's semi-estranged brother, Eli, calls her in France to tell her that their father, Leland, has been killed in a hunting accident on the family's 500-acre Virginia vineyard. But the vineyard is now shabby and run-down and her siblings want to sell it. Then Lucie's godfather tells her Leland's death was no accident. With her greedy brother, hell-raising sister, and a seemingly cut-rate vintner hired by Leland just before he died, all the suspects are disturbingly close to home.
