Driving to Detroit: Memoirs of a Fast Woman Reviews

  • Darla Ebert

    An unusual book from several vantage points. The author has an approach that is both compelling and frustrating. She lapses into a poetic way of viewing scenes along the way as she travels throughout the mid-west in an eye-catching vehicle heading to an auto show in Detroit.

  • Geri

    I read this book at least six years ago. Recently realized I never wrote a review.
    I remember really enjoying the book.
    If you like books about road trips and cars you should try this book.

  • John

    Author writes well, and seems to have led an interesting life, but I had trouble getting through the automotive-based details that form the basis of the book, which I'd thought would be a more straightforward memoir.

  • Ram

    Wonderful viewpoint of America by a British migrant with eclectic accomplishments and an unusual career. Many pasages make you ponder about yourself, and at the end, makes you want to read her other works.

  • Cadillacrazy

    Road trip through Western US
