public service announcement:
DO YOU HAVE A KID WHO LIKES FAST CARS, IS OBSESSED BUT INTIMIDATED BY THE OPPOSITE SEX, YEARNS FOR WILD ROAD-TRIP ADVENTURES BUT SPENDS ALL OF HIS OR HER TIME STARING INTO THEIR EFFING CELL PHONE AND DOESN'T EVER PICK UP A BOOK AND READ?  The Last Open Road is author/racer/award-winning motorsports journalist "BS" Levy's passionate and utterly hilarious historical novel about a good-hearted, blue-collar, 19-year old New Jersey gas-station mechanic who learns about life, cars and love against the backdrop of the privileged, dangerous, upper-crust and occasionally decadent world of open-road sports car racing during the Eisenhower fifties.
Several teachers have discovered that The Last Open Road's realistic, funny and spot-on first-person narrative and historical and mechanical accuracy (not to mention racing and road-trip escapades, dysfunctional families, friendships, first loves, prejudice, stereotypes, mentoring and more) make it appealing to teenagers who may be having difficulty getting into more traditional novels.
"...recalls to mind Catcher in the Rye and Holden Caulfield..."
"Levy is a marvelous storyteller."
"Splendid characters weave in and out of a tale that features classism, elitism and racism; that is about triumph and tragedy and right and wrong. A rich, compelling story that deserves a wide audience."
Copies of The Last Open Road and its sequels are available through all major retailers, wholesalers and distributors and are also available as e-books from Amazon Kindle and B&N Nook.
