Lots of really neat stories. What a great adventure Mr. Kuralt got to live.

We need more journalists like Charles Kuralt. Engaging, professional and an outstanding storyteller, Kuralt left me reminiscent for the days when television news reporting was actual journalism and where good news could still nab the undivided attention of American viewers.

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.

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.
