Book Review: An adventure on the rails
Summary: 5 Stars
Ted Conover is good at immersing himself in the subject on which he is writing, whether it be the world of illegal immigration in Coyotes, or that of prison guards in Newjack. In this work he immerses himself in the world of hobos. It's one of his earlier works, and it's obvious that his style had not yet matured as it did in later works such as Newjack. He takes the reader along as he goes from being a college student, to being a hobo. Along the way he both shares the stories of other hobos he encounters as well as some of the inernal struggles he experiences. This book is a worthwhile and enjoyable read.
