“Gives readers a flavor of the region, what natives think of Route 17, and the vast knowledge some few people possess about shrimp. … After reading Shrimp Highway, I not only wanted to chow down on some of that fried shrimp and get my toes in the sand, but I also wanted to drive down part of U.S. 17, at least that part of it that follows the North Carolina coast, and stop in some of the towns Johnson visited, and just walk around the streets breathing in the briny air and taking it easy.”—Smoky Mountain News
