Here is what people are saying about the 1,000 Places to See Before You Die
 "Not as good as it should/could be" | 2009-10-05 |
| - Reviewed By User: A1SY7BM4OPB01A |
| This book is so focused on single, discrete places that it avoids and neglects what surrounds those things. No one could possibly have time or money to visit places this way. I would love a book that told me more broadly about areas that are sure to delight. In other ways, don't just tell me about the Great Wall, tell me about restaurants in Beijing, or silk in Xian, or whatever. You don't get on a plane and go to the Great Wall; you go to China! |

 "An OK Book" | 2009-09-15 |

| I have given this book a rating of "4" because it does contain a fairly good list of places one might want to see. Some of the details written in the book are not that much in depth so don't expect a complete detailed writing's on the places to see. Not a lot of pictures so your imagination will have to take over.Frankly I would not pay retail for any travel books like this one thus I always look for heavy discounts like Amazon AND low cost shipping.Now back to the book. This is a thick one with a thousand place listing thus I think one gets their monies worth. We have been a great number of the places listed and find the writing to be for the most part accurate. It's hard to have scenic vies and places become obsolete however man made locations may be not be the most up to date especially as time goes by. We recommend the book for a quick reference. |

 "My Traveling Bible" | 2009-08-22 |

You can't please everyone with an ambitious book of this nature - it is one person's personal Life List. She is not writing it to please her readers but rather to share her favorite places around the world. You'd be hard pressed not to find a few hundred remarkable places to keep you busy for the next many years!
(This is the third copy I have purchased because it makes a great gift for the travelers in my life) |

 "Insulting" | 2009-08-20 |
| - Reviewed By yert46 |
342 pages on Europe.
45 pages on Africa.
As many have pointed out, the list is so skewed and biased as to be insulting. The writing is often not useful, or focuses on misleading aspects of an area. Why talk about the hotels and not the sites?
The other review I find useful is that this focuses often on things to see, not things to do. Besides, as another reviewer pointed out, it simply isn't adventerous: often discussing going to locales to see a place, instead of the expereinces of traveling and actually engaging in areas.
And just to reiterate:
342 pages on Europe.
45 pages on Africa. |

Good job in investigating the 1,000 places. I wish the print was bigger.
Very comprehensive. |

| "Good or Bad, or just both" | 2009-04-04 |
| - Reviewed By User: A29LC1P9PQJPH8 |
| This book is a little bit of good and a little bit bad. I read future reviews about it and they all said that it had to many hotels. I thought maybe they were exaggerating so I got it. After reading the first couple of pages you knew they were telling the truth. The book was great and it was full of some sites. At least one half of the places it mentioned were about hotels. And seeing as I want to see sites and not hotels I was a little pissed off. It was set up really good though. |
