It started off good. I liked Mike's parents and they were quirky like most people's parents so I got a few chuckles about the things they said. But this is a generally ordinary family and not much exciting happens on this road trip, at all. I kept waiting for something to happen. So soon I felt like it got pretty dull with the day to day conversations you would have in your own house about your own relatives. It was a bit mundane and not as interesting to me as I think it was to them. I felt like there just wasn't enough material here for a book. Maybe you have to be a fan of Mike on the Today show, which I don't watch, to get into this.
