Book Reviews of The Most Scenic Drives in America: 120 Spectacular Road Trips
Book Review: An Outstanding, Very Beautiful, Very Thorough and Informative Book; Highly Recommended
Summary: 5 Stars
There are several excellent reasons to invest in this outstanding book. First it's an excellent reference guide that can assist us in getting the most out of our vacation plans and travel decisions. Every one of the 120 highway / road trip covered in this 400 page book includes several stunning and outstanding quality pictures plus a brief synopsis of the area, a map and short descriptions of numerous interesting stops to check out on our jaunts, oh, and trip tips also. This beautiful book would have been tremendously beneficial before our recent 7 state trip because SO MUCH excellent information and insight is given; we would have made far better route choices than our atlas and various web sites had recommended as supposedly `scenic routes'.
Even more importantly, the purchaser will be prone to use and enjoy this beautiful, extremely interesting coffee table book much more than our houseguests or office visitors will (BUT don't let them borrow it!). It's laid out perfectly for reading a little bit during TV commercials or during a quick break from my daily tasks. So with only a short amounts of rare spare time I've been getting to know quite a bit about these awesome area 's of America. And I've already acquired quite a bit more knowledge about these impressive blessings that are scattered all across our little splotch of this awesome mother earth.
To address / challenge the first reviewer's unfortunate event of bad Karma. With SO MUCH to see and do all along these 120 awesome road trips, I really doubt if most persons would expect ALL of the flower-fields, buildings, hotels, camp grounds, historic markers or turn-outs to remain unchanged for all of eternity. Change is the only constant in life but these phenomenal highways will STILL remain gorgeous, unforgettable life experiences for a few more centuries; if we can't visit them all, I suggest that we can at least experience them from an excellent books like this one.
