This is a book written by a man for a man. Paul Archer devotes his whole self to his business, seeing relationships and commitment as a weakness that might result in financial insecurity. He vows he will never sink to the status of his "trailer park" family whom he has avoided for the last several years. But when he is coerced into an off-road camping trip, he comes to identify with his estranged Bible thumping brother and big gun, big truck, dying father.
Steve Wright has brought his characters to life. The reader can almost see the old man with skin jiggling below his chin. The road trip keeps you clinging to your seat so as not to go over a cliff with him. I would gladly give this book five stars if I didn't let my Christianity get in the way. The one brother who claims to be a born-again Christian, drinks alcohol and takes God's name in vain. Although he only does this a couple of times, it offended me.

Overview
Off Road is a journey into the uniquely American world of God, guns, big trucks, family ... and the new American civil war of progressives vs traditionalists.Paul Archer thinks he's grown beyond his redneck family, until he's forced on an off-road camping trip with his Bible-thumping brother and chain smoking father. But why all the guns? If this is a hunting trip, it sure ain't rabbit season!
