Review: Our Towns: A 100,000-Mile Journey Into the Heart of America

Our Towns: A 100,000-Mile Journey Into the Heart of America Our Towns: A 100,000-Mile Journey Into the Heart of America by James M. Fallows
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Tedious. And I really wanted to like this book. Not sure the authors are really getting a "feel" for America by flying around the country and stopping at private airports and taking the temperature of a nearby town. Moreover, the time frame outlined in the book is way too big - some towns they visit right after the reelection of Obama and others right before the election of Trump. Anyone who has lived through it knows these are 2 very different times in America. They should have gone back to the early towns to find out what had changed.
