Surrounded by Books

I really wanted to like this book, based on the premise. Two friends on road trip, correcting all the misspellings on signs and menus. Combining grammar with a buddy movie! Sure!But the book itself needed an editor for the sheer weight of the unnecessary adjectives and pretentious prose. I'm willing to give the book a little slack, for aiming for the kind of Superhero Saves World intrepid tone, but I don't think the aim was very true. For writers who claim to hold Strunk and White as personal role models to have written something like this? Feh.
