.Fodor's French for Travelers (Audio Set) (Fodor's Languages for Travelers (Books and Cassettes)) City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette by: Fodor's April 15, 1997 We used the book while we were in Paris quite a bit to help with vocabulary. The CDs weren't the most useful part of the package and were a little boring. We all have some fluency with French. However, if you are completely new to the language, it may be good to hear the proper pronunciation. >>See More Reviews & Details on Fodor's French for Travelers (Audio Set) (Fodor's Languages for Travelers (Books and Cassettes)) |

.The Kingdom by the Sea (Penguin Audiobooks) City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette by: Paul Theroux June 01, 1997 Paul Theroux's travel book soften being out strong opinions in readers- particulrly those who have visited a place he has written about. Many of the most critical seem to focus on a few details and miss the overall tenor of the piece. As Theroux makes quite clear in this book, he loves the English seacoast, and he met many warm people along the way. At the same time, he unflinchingly relates every detail of his experience, every rude comment, every unpleasant encounter. As he notes, most travel writing is boring; we went to Egypt, we saw the pyramids, et cetera. What makes for interesting reading is the minutia, the detail that makes my trip different from your trip. My England is nothing like Theroux's, but then, I wasn't there for ...

.On Mexican Time: A Home in San Miguel City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette from: Random House Audio January 11, 2000 Author has a nice touch, however, half way through he seems to run out of much to say except reportage. Reports about fixing a centuries old house can be about as dull as being there. No duller. There are interesting reflections, along with descriptions of people and places in the first half of the book, making it worth the cost of the book and your time reading at least half of it. >>See More Reviews & Details on On Mexican Time: A Home in San Miguel |

.Made in America City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette by: Bill Bryson August 21, 1995 In "Made in America", Bill Bryson charts the development of the United States of America, from the arrival of the earliest settlers to the quirks of modern day society. Yet this book is more than a mere history book. It is a celebration and an exposition of American popular culture, guaranteed to change the way you look at the U.S.A. The scope of this book is very wide, yet the author's skill and wit hold it together quite nicely and the end result is very readable. Bryson covers topics as diverse as politics, the american language, the entertainment industry, the transport industries, moves, food and immigration - yet keeps the reader's attention the whole time with his eloquent prose and amusing anecdotes. If ... Read More: >>See More Reviews & Details on Made in America |

.Trip to the Beach, A City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette by: Robert Blanchard October 10, 2000 The Blanchards have done what a lot of us dream of doing: a fun job without bosses in a fun country with fantastic weather--at least in season! Aside from providing a thoroughly enjoyable account of their move to Anguilla, the book is also a passionate description of how one can make a dream come true, and with not that much money at all. Having said that, their repeated references to the Anguillan "paradise" maybe a bit excessive when one considers the horrible red-tape, vicious hurricanes and logistic nightmares they had to deal with. But perhaps that is what makes this book really excellent: it is a realistic view of the pros and cons of the Blanchards' choice, devoid of sticky romanticism and with no trace whatsoever of the smugness and superiority ...

.Last Breath: Cautionary Tales from the Limits of Human Endurance City Travel Guides > Books > Books on Cassette from: Random House Audio October 02, 2001 I first read this book over five years ago. I could NOT put it down! These are part fiction part true short stories of the many ways one can take ones LAST BREATH - literally. For some reason I started in the middle with the drowning story. A blow by blow clinical description of what goes on in your body as you drown. Facinating! Each story is pretty much about people taking chances and risking their lives for different reasons;mountain climbing, cycling, scuba diving,or just being caught out in the cold, - some recover - but some wind up taking their Last Breath. As you read it you know exactly how it happens. I've read it three times. Great read -especially to the layperson who may not know strenuous sports ...
