Last Bus to Coffeeville - Rilegato

'It's rare to find a first novel that has as sure a touch as this one, with the writing being a combination of Bill Bryson travelogue with humour from James Thurber and Garrison Keillor.' * * * * * - Steve, Goodreads

'If The Hundred-Year-Old Man Who Climbed Out of the Window and Disappeared was a book you enjoyed then I'm sure this book will delight and entertain you just as much.' Farmer Giles - Library Thing

'This is a book well worth reading. * * * * * - Gill Chedgey, Shelfari

'I thought the book flowed beautifully and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There will inevitably be comparisons with The 100 Year Old Man and I'm certain that if you enjoyed that book you will love this one too. * * * * * - Sue Packer, Goodreads

'I found myself laughing out loud with the characters. I really enjoyed this story.' - Jane Brown, Book Depository

'This really is a funny and wonderful story about friendship lost love and love regained and challenges our thoughts of Alzheimer s and death. Everything dealt with sympathy but a smile on the side with some gut wrenching laughs, and well worth reading.' - Paul, Goodreads

'Funny? Definitely. Sad? Absolutely. Worth reading? Totally.' - Him Up North, Goodreads

'This motley crew is reminiscent of Little Miss Sunshine, and just as quirky. Their exploits, as they career across America will have you in stitches, and in tears just as frequently.' - Amazon

'I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read!' * * * * * - --Green Metropolis

'A funny road trip story...but this brave debut novel also tackles sensitive issues and does so in a confident manner.' - We Love This Book (15 May)

'Deftly handled with an offbeat humour & a deal of worldly compassion.' - Sunday Sport

'A fascinating and poignant novel... a very meaningful read.' - --Woman's World

'There is heartbreak, but enough black humour to stop it being sentimental. The book is also an excellent primer of recent U.S. history told through the eyes of the people not the politicians who have moulded the American dream.'- --Daily Mail

J. Paul Henderson was born and grew up in Bradford, West Yorkshire, gained a Master's degree in American Studies and travelled to Afghanistan. He worked in a foundry, as a bus conductor, trained as an accountant and then, when the opportunity to return to academia arose, left for Mississippi, returning four years later with a doctorate in 20th Century US History and more knowledge of Darlington Hoopes than was arguably necessary. (Hoopes was a Pennsylvanian socialist and the last presidential candidate of the American Socialist Party). American History departments were either closing or contracting, so he opted for a career in academic publishing. He now lives in a house in England, drives a car and owns a television set. And that's about it.
