Journal Entry 2 by dododumpling from St. Neots, Cambridgeshire United Kingdom on Thursday, February 15, 2007
From Amazon.co.uk: The United States of America is, aw shucks, many things to many people. But to businessman and travel writer Peter Biddlecombe it's FOOD. Huge, enormous, vitamin-fortified, artery-clogging, fat-laden, calorie-packed, colon-blocking, microwaveable mountains of the stuff. And most of all it's burgers. In his ninth irreverent travel book, Biddlecombe chews over the whole of the USA, state by state by state, as if it were a huge burger. From the Chicken States of Kentucky and Rhode Island to the Ice State, Alaska, he describes an entire continent with wit and precision, whilst imparting a greal deal of practical information. It is arguably the first travel book ever written by anyone who has actually visited every one of the 51 states - and survived.
A tongue-in-cheek look at the US. Biddlecombe's style is more biting than, say, Bill Bryson's, and he has a wicked way with words. I'm sure a native of North Dakota or South Carolina might be offended by his portrayal of their state; I found it funny. :)
