I was actually looking for places "off the beaten track" but this book had nothing you could not get off the net or regular tourist book. It's basically a listing of museums and churches. Very Very disappointing
I'm very intrigued by this. Partly because I don't agree at all that it is a list of museums and churches that you can get off the internet (without searching pretty damn hard, anyway - you can get anything off the internet with a little effort) and definitely most places are not in regular tourist books (although some are, and I put an unusual aspect of the place in my book, like the vertical tour of the Cathedral of St. John the Divine). Mostly I want to know what the person expected the book would be about. It has parks, restaurants, museums (some inside people's homes), a former airport, forts, churches, stores, and monuments. Aren't those what constitute "attractions?" I'm not asking to be defensive, I'm asking because I genuinely want to know for next time and there's no way to contact this dude and ask. Any thoughts?
they obviously didn't get it because it's not 'basically a listing of museums and churches'
ReplyDeletehow can it be just a listing when you've got all those details? and they aren't run of the mill guidebook attraction.
That dude is a moron.

Reading reviews - and sometimes blog/news site comments - makes me realize that a goodly portion of the population have a hard time comprehending what they read. They get SO FAR off base. I wouldn't take it personally.
ReplyDeleteThis person is stupid. That said, there are always idiots who post reviews and comments on things. Including me!
ReplyDeletePerhaps I am biased, but you are not someone I think of as an idiot. :)
