Review: i loved the story line of the book. 3 guys with nothing better to do than get in a hearse and travel to rio. the encounters they had on the way were very funny to read about. i finished the book quickly because i kept wanting to find out what would happen next. i reccomend it to anyone who just wants some entertainment out of a book.

Summary: Started out great.... but fizzled fast
Review: The first 50 pages of this book were quite entertaining. But the remaining 150 pages were mediocre. Their trip through Latin America consisted mostly of getting drunk and picking up prostitutes. One bright note: It was interesting to learn of the difficulties the author encountered as he crossed from one border to another. However, I was expecting more from this book and was kinda disappointed.

Summary: I was so very enthralledq
Review: This book has everything you could ask for from a travel essay. It's easy to read, humorous, suspensful and most important to me....recent. It took place in 1993. The one bad thing (keep in mind it's only 1) is that is speeds through the last week or so of the trip. Otherwise, I recommend it highly!

Review: This book is about a man and his hearse, bound for Rio. Armed with plenty of alcohol and one sausage, he and two friends encounter everything from drunken prostitutes to corrupt politicians. Reading this is a must for any hearse enthusiast!!

Summary: Best Book I've Read In A Long Time
Review: This is one of the most entertaining books I have read in a while. Once you start you just can't put it down. It was very funny, had a great story line, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for sheer entertainment out of a book. It's not a how-to book, just a rollicking adventure story. I hope this isn't Mayle's only book!!
