The Chocolate Lady (94 KP) rated Stranger on a Train in Books
Oct 7, 2020
How wonderful is this book? Diski's travel across the USA and her experiences with being a smoker were just perfect - and made even more fun to read since I read it on a train myself. Highly recommended!

AT (1676 KP) rated DK Eyewitness Travel Beijing & Shanghai in Books
Mar 13, 2019
This book is very short. It only has extremely brief summaries of the top tourist sites. It does have some decent color photos, but I would not use this as your only travel guide. It's an okay supplement.

MPMcDonald (8 KP) rated Another Dawn in Books
Jan 12, 2018
I liked the characters of Luke and Sofie and the time travel aspect, but I wish more of the time travel would have come into play. Also, I felt like the bad guys were invented on the spot by the author when she needed them. There was no real motive for why they did the things they did.
I guess what saved the book for me was that I really liked Luke and the situation he found himself in where he was caught between a rock and a hard place. (Oops! No pun intended!)

David McK (3232 KP) rated Around the World in 80 Days in Books
Jan 30, 2019 (Updated Oct 16, 2020)
Jules Verne's classic which, I have to say, I could not help but think of the 80's cartoon while reading.
In case you've been living in a cave: late 19th century (1870s, I think) adventure, in which Phileas (or Willie, in the cartoon) Fogg makes a bet that he can travel around the world in 80 days - it's all there in the title! - accompanied by his valet Passepartout.
Set aside the colonialism of the time, the (sometimes) cringe-worthy racial stereotypes, and just enjoy the travel! Mind, there's no hot-air balloons involved ...
