Book Reviews of 1,000 Places to See Before You Die: A Traveler's Life List
Book Review: A travel library "must-have"
Summary: 4 Stars
I received "1,000 Places to See Before You Die: A Traveler's Life List" as a birthday gift from a friend a few years ago and it has since become one of the most well-thumbed volumnes in our travel library.
It's fun to scan our green highlighted entries and remember with pleasure the places we've been, as well as review entries we've marked with stars as places we plan to visit.
I'm not sure how anyone can make the suggestion that the book is a 'grandpa list' with off the beaten track trips such as "a ballon ride over Masai Mara" and "the Tasman Glacier" listed right on the front cover. I don't see many 80 year olds on those types of adventures.
Although I agree that the Toronto Four Seasons listing is dubious when so many locations of interest in Canada seem to be missing, the food at the Four Seasons is actually quite fine.
I recommend this book as a good starting point for creating your own list of places to see before you die.
Book Review: Not Practical
Summary: 2 Stars
Thought it would be a fun book to read but too exhausting and not very pratical. Would not buy again. Fun casual "no thinking" birthday gift but that is about it. Book Review: A MUST READ FOR SERIOUS TRAVELERS!
Summary: 5 Stars

This book contains both luxury priced and reasonably priced options for places to stay and things to do. I like the options given for travel around the world, even to out-of-the-way places.
