"I read The Odyssey and The Idiot after hearing a radio interview with the author. I don't see any reviews but wanted to recommend this book.

As a father of three with a business career similar to Mr. Price's, I really enjoyed this story. This author has a worldview somewhere between Dennis Miller and John Steinbeck. His rants on popular culture and other topical subjects are very funny. But the main message of the book is one we can all use. His appreciation for the blessings of his family and a rich life is inspiring without being maudlin. He seems like a guy who you wish was your next door neighbor.
If you have had enough formula books about spies, courtroom dramas or brilliant forensic pathologists, grab this book for a summer read."
-McCullough

"Keith Price's experience is essentially autobiographical. Its stimulus was his first extended vacation alone with his 2 children, a two week cross country car trip. Keith wrote a summary of the day's touring experiences, his introspections while driving, the historical perspective of his formative years, his varied and humorous experiences as a globe trotting businessman and brief sketches of a number if unique relatives.

The book is both humorous and insightful. It brings to life the unique challenges and rewards of rearing a deaf child, who traveled with him on the trip as a teenager. It explores the paradoxes of the imprimatur of a Jesuit college education superimposed on a precollege free spirited home life.

The book is guaranteed to evoke personal comparisons. Readers will reflect on their own experiences that significantly developed their personal gestalt. They will review past challenges and assess how they coped. Through it all, they will chuckle, turn the page and keep reading".
