    Not very good on Kindle2
    This book is difficult to navigate on a Kindle. Only around 175 restaurants and just about every town that I look up- does not have a restaurant reviewed. As an example seems strange that several restaurants are listed for Key West but few other places in Florida. Wasted Money.

    Do not take a road trip without this book if you enjoy local favorites, rather than chain food. It makes me want to travel more.

    Man, when I started reading this, my mouth was just watering, wondering which state to choose to visit. If you travel a lot, like we do, its a book to keep handy on the road.
    I had to run out and find myself something good to eat after just a few pages.
