Walking to Denver

The entertainment value of this book lies in the group dynamics, social interactions, and the personalities of the people on the walk. There's just enough scenic description to pinpoint locations, without turning this book into a travelogue. You'll want to walk along with the participants, in spirit, if not in reality. I loved it!

"Walking to Denver" follows the arduous, but scenic path of six adults who walk from Los Angeles to Denver as part of a publicity campaign for the Zeus sporting goods company. The main character is Roger McAllister, an accountant from Buffalo who lost his wife in a plane crash. He is a staid, level-headed anti-hero whose conversative observations become more circumspect as provocative relationships develop with a sexy model, a journalist, a god-like triathlete, an amoral real estate agent and an old girlfriend from college.The easy-to-follow, humorous plot is strictly about who's going to end up with who. Spicy love scenes are minimal and profanity is refreshingly nonexistent. If anything, the book makes you want to set out on a long, cross-country trek of your own.
