Through Painted Deserts: Light, God, and Beauty on the Open Road by Donald Miller
3.0
If this book is in your hands, put it down and go read Kerouac's [b:On The Road|6288|The Road|Cormac McCarthy|http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/21E8H3D1JSL._SL75_.jpg|3355573] or something.
This book trips over Miller's overly detailed foibles on a cross-country road trip with a friend. One gag in particular late in the book is remarkably unfunny: Miller tries to embarrass his friend in front of their waitress at a diner, and the joke falls flat.
That'd be my one-word review maybe: flat. This book isn't necessary, nor was the retread to put it out again under this new title. (Previously called Prayer and the Art of Volkswagen Maintenance--sound familiar?)
