Kuralt just has a way with story. There are many stories in this book. Just about half of this book is about Kuralt's life prior to his On The Road days and they are pretty interesting, South America correspondent, Anchorman, Vietnam, and radio. Just a great book. ( )

I'm more than halfway through this series of memoirs, but am not planning to finish, as I have lost all respect I ever had for this man. It's sobering because Kuralt's "On the Road" segments on television were a fond childhood memory of mine. The writing is good and the vignettes are diverting, but I'm just not interested in learning any more about his life. ( )

Starts out with the author's early life working for CBS. This part is OK. The really good part is where he talks about the moving experiences he had with exceptional and common people all over the country. Very enjoyable. ( )

One of the greatest storytellers of all time. Anything he's written is well worth reading. ( )
