    I think Boggan is the perfect person for this book. Maybe it's because of his journalistic background, but he doesn't inject too much of himself into the writing, he usually observes and lets the people and landscape speak for themselves. Where Boggan does interject his own opinion or humour, it falls rather flat, but that doesn't happen often and doesn't ruin the charm of the story.

    Overall I found it v. Nov 17, CV Rick rated it liked it Shelves: It's not a terribly original idea - telling the stories of everyday people one meets through chance encounters.

    The catalyst for this adventure was a ten dollar bill, serial number 1AA. As this bill changed hands it came with a British journalist as a bonus rider. Along the way people were hospitable and even heartwarmingly friendly. He learned about Americans and their stories. An engaging, feel good book about a British journalist who re-visits a previous assignment of following a ten pound note around Britain, this time travelling to the US to follow a ten dollar bill. A fascinating idea, not so much a reflection of what happens to ten dollar bills from month to month, more a study of people using it, and the lives they lead.

    Sep 01, Jess rated it it was ok. Due to the interesting premise of this book, I tried very hard to stick it out to the end, but I decided the line "she seemed too intelligent to be a waitress" was my sign to give it up. The second star is for the very entertaining story about the visiting preacher which was most definitely the high point of this book. Nov 02, Du rated it liked it Shelves: I liked this book. It was light hearted, informative, and interesting. It has an interesting idea and fleshes it out in a cheeky way. The overall concept of following the path money takes, and the interconnection of people and economies are shown to be stronger and more relevant than ever.

    In some ways this book is a testament to shopping local. Nov 03, MyOnly rated it really liked it. An interesting idea fleshed out by great writing. I think the fact that the writer is British makes it all the better since he brings not only a different perspective but also preconceived notions about Americans and how they live.

    The book had its funny moments, but I believe it may have more appeal for Brits who have no experience in the US Midwest. For those of us who are American and are familiar with the Midwest, none of the author's revelations or history lessons come as a surprise. Sep 22, Stacey Marien rated it liked it. A very interesting concept, though the book could do with better editing.

    Feb 14, Robin rated it really liked it. Quick read and was interesting to think about something so ordinary. The people of the story make it extraordinary. I think it was easy to follow despite the British words throughout.

    I found myself laughing out loud several times and thinking about the story long after I had put the book down for the day. Steve's endearing descriptions of the people that received the bill made me want to retrace his steps and have MY OWN conversations, meals, drinks, tears and laughs with them!

    He shares many of his jaded feelings quite candidly as well as exposes some of his fear and vulnerability during the journey. Absolutely a must read! I could not put it down; read it from start to finish in one sitting!

    Not only is Steve a great writer, He also has quite an amusing style. If you think about his British accent while reading his narration you will find yourself laughing out loud over and over!!! The book is really packed with what I would call Americana. He goes into great and interesting detail about the historical details surrounding the places He visits as He follows the I highly recommend this book to all!!! See all 10 reviews.
