There are travel books, and there are travelogues, and then, if you're lucky, you come across storytelling like this that actually takes you on a history-filled, magical mystery tour that becomes a remarkably accessible journey., There are many Route 66 books but none are a full-length road trip like this … If you plan to motor west and get your kicks doing it, I suggest you read it., "Antonson calls Route 66 "the highway of highways," and after reading his luminous travelogue, you probably will agree. A must for Route 66 aficionados. ", By far the best book I have read about the Road in many, many years. Two guys went in search of Route 66 and found America. Highly recommended., "Antonson's most impressive feat in "Route 66 Still Kicks" is how he incorporates history into the narrative. Even those familiar with the stories of Will Rogers, Cyrus Avery, Mickey Mantle, or Al Capone will find them rendered by Antonson in a fresh way. Highly recommended.", His tale is a middle-age Woodstock in motion, an encounter with an America that isn't as lost as we thinkAnd in the end Antonson proves that Route 66 indeed still kicks-as does America., I have traveled Route 66 more times than a long-haul trucker and this book is going to become one of the classics of the road solid proof that Route 66 'still kicks., There are many Route 66 books but none are a full-length road trip like this If you plan to motor west and get your kicks doing it, I suggest you read it., One of the best books of the bunch [2012 round up of Holiday Travel Books by The New York Times] is partly a homage to Bobby Troup, the lyricist who wrote the 1946 hit '(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66., His tale is a middle-age Woodstock in motion, an encounter with an America that isn't as lost as we thinkAnd in the end Antonson proves that Route 66 indeed still kicks--as does America.

Synopsis
"You'll never understand America until you've driven Route 66--that's old Route 66--all the way," a truck driver in California once said to author Rick Antonson. "It's the most famous highway in the world." With some determination, grit, and a good sense of direction, one can still find and drive on 90 percent of the original Route 66 today. This travelogue follows Rick and his travel companion Peter along 2,400 miles through eight states from Chicago to Los Angeles as they discover the old Route 66. With surprising and obscure stories about Route 66 personalities like Woody Guthrie, John Steinbeck, Al Capone, Salvador Dali, Dorothea Lange, Cyrus Avery (the Father of Route 66), the Harvey Girls, Mickey Mantle, and Bobby Troup (songwriter of "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66"), Antonson's fresh perspective reads like an easy drive down a forgotten road: winding, stopping now and then to mingle with the locals and reminisce about times gone by, and then getting stuck in the mud, sucked into its charms. Rick mixes hilarious anecdotes of happenstance travel with the route's difficult history, its rise and fall in popularity, and above all, its place in legend. The author has committed part of his book's proceeds to the preservation work of the National Route 66 Federation.
