Travel with Charley by Joshua Vargas


I feel many people are not particularly fond of reading books because evil teachers make us read boring, long books. That was a joke, teachers are not evil (Or are they?)… Many books are too long, progress slow, or are just too boring to hold the reader’s attention.  John Steinbeck does a great job holding the reader’s attention in Travels with Charley.  This book is not a boring book that will take an eternity to read.  Also, while this book is very simple, I felt Steinbeck wrote it for the readers to read farther into the lines, so to speak.
In Travels with Charley, Steinbeck writes about his “expedition” of driving around America in a truck with his poodle, Charley.  If you are seeking explosions and car chases, this book is not for you, rather, it is for one who enjoys imagining beautiful landscapes.  Although this book is not a thriller, it still leaves the reader wanting to turn to the next page.  Also, the font is peculiarly big and there is a small amount of pages that make up the book.  I rate this book a four out of five fire trucks. Travels with Charley will not disappoint so travel with Charley.
