.Brando Unzipped

by: Darwin Porter

November 03, 2005
I had read the serialised version of the book and thought that it was going to be a well written, racy, and meticulously researched biography of Marlon Brando. I was bitterly disappointed.

The structure of the book is very poor. The book seems to meander through Brando's early life at a very slow pace. The author fails to use endnotes and footnotes to help make the book more readable and instead chooses to be easily distracted by the interesting lives of Brando's acquaintances. For example Liz Renee a burlesque dancer with a fascinating life story of her own supposedly had a brief affair with Brando. Personally I believe her life story should have been in the footnotes and just the part about her affair with Brando belonged ... Read More:

.Frommer's Switzerland (Frommers Complete)

by: Darwin Porter, Danforth Prince

February 22, 2008
I took this book with me when I toured Switzerland recently, and found it to be a very good investment. This was the first time I'd used a "Frommer's" guide, but in this case I bought it in preference to the "Lonely Planet" alternative because it is much more substantial. The guide provides an indication of pricing of attractions and restaurants (in Swiss francs and US dollars), which seem to be largely accurate. Ratings of attractions are also provided, but these unfortunately seem to mainly cater for the traveller who wants to stick to the most well-known tourist spots.

.Frommer's Austria (Frommers Complete)

by: Darwin Porter, Danforth Prince

April 17, 2007
My daughter will be in Gratz,Austria for 6 weeks this summer at the AIMS School for opera. Since I will be visiting I decided to buy your guide to Austria. It has everything you could want to know and more. We lived in Europe for 3 years and it is exciting to go back.The "getting around" section is great as is the information on Music (Mozart etc). I was really excited about the summer music festival in Salzburg. I bought your book on Panama when I visited and it certainly made for a much easier and more interesting trip with your guide. The AIMS school is something your future readers may be interested in-it is a summer program for singers on the road to a career and they have programs on weekends throughout summer. Thank you.
