Precious Cargo: My Year Driving the Kids on School Bus 3077 by Craig Davidson
hopeful
medium-paced
3.0
The first third of the book the author is highly insufferable; he waxes poetic unnecessarily, emphasizes his woe-is-me dilemma that lead to his driving the bus in the first place, and the inclusion of chapters of his unpublished novel are jarring and seemingly unrelated until the last 10% of the book. The writing is also quite weak, with significant repetition and lazy phrasing.
The best part of the book is really the interactions of the "precious cargo" themselves — who were these kids, how did they get on, what did they bring to the atmosphere. But, unfortunately, they seemed to be a much lesser priority to the author than the title would have you believe.
