The Accidental Tourist: A Novel (Ballantine Reader's Circle) Review: The Accidental Tourist (Ballantine Reader's Circle). I love this book! I've read it dozens of times. At first glance, it's fetching and readable, but look beyond the surface - some passages are near masterpieces. Look for Macon fixing the sink with Alexander, and Macon shopping for clothes with Alexander. This book also gives a believable and touching description of a person changing. Just follow Macon's thoughts and see how they change with time. I think this is Tyler's best (and I've read them all).15 of 15 . Read more »
