If you’re looking for some off the wall travel reading then look no further than American Waters by Alex Kirkbride.

Described by some as the weirdest wackiest US road trip in history.

The author Alex Kirkbride who is a photographer and scuba diver decided to spend 3 years traversing the US. However, there’s a twist. He did it with the intention of relaying his experiences through the eyes of an alligator or fish or turtle. Weird ehhh….

His adventures include sitting in a cattle water tank in Kansas, snorkelling in a Massachusetts bog and strangest of all sitting in a puddle situated on a New York highway. This is all very odd but makes for very entertaining reading. As you would expect the pictures are wacky but wonderful.

The nub of the book is summed up in the intro - “Jean-Michel Cousteau says, to rethink what water means in our lives”.”

American Waters by Alex Kirkbride, retails for £18.99 ($38).
