Hoping that train to freedom June 16, 2000
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book, Hopping Freight Trains in America, is a wonderful guide to the lost art of train hopping. With witty remarks and amazing anecdotes, the plot hops along at a cheerful pace. I first read this book out of sheer curiosity, but the more I read, the more enthralled I became with the idea of actually trying to hop a train. Having finished the book, I packed it in my napsack and joyfully skipped out to find my ticket to freedom. My heart raced with the fear of getting caught, but train hopping proved far easier than expected. I made it as far as Ohio (from Wisconsin), where I stopped to visit my Uncle Art who kindly forced a tired but liberated young man to book a flight home. It's an experience I'll never forget and one I wish everyone could experience. Thank you David Leen for writing such an inspiring, informative narrative/guide.
