Good-loses steam at the end

Great first half of the book-lots of history on how interstates came to be. The book loses steam in the back third. The author raises questions about where to go with the interstate system now that it's largely built, and he doesn't really have any opinions. The tight prose of the first half gives way to overwritten paragraphs in the back half.

A Kindle version note- the typos in the back 50 pages are bad. Possibly the worst I've seen in a Kindle version.
