You'll Remember This Story Forever - Perfect to Read Out Loud by Richard Vallens from Southern California on Oct 16, 2010 |
| Every so often you read a book so surprisingly good, and which etches itself so indelibly in your mind, that you want to share it with everyone you know. Hey Mom was that book for me. I came to this book looking for inspiration. Fifteen years (and two children) after my last bicycle tour, I needed something to restir and restore my travel spirit. Little did I know how much MORE than a simple travel book Hey Mom would be. It's a story of bonding into a family, of courage and guts, of growing up and of reaching arms out to hug our country. It's a supreme adventure, built mile by mile with stories of an America few of us ever experience first hand. It's a book with true soul and terrific characterizations of kids you can only grow to love. You'll be startled when, all of a sudden, you just CAN'T put this book down. When finished, you'll be in awe of how John Seigel-Boettner made a simple story about kids on bikes into a classic you'll remember forever. If you want to plant the seed in your children (or yourself) for a bicycle tour someday, this IS the book that will do that. Read it out loud to them when they're little, or just buy it for them when they're a little older. But it's absolutely for adults, too. | |
