Price: $11.53
Customer Review:
We vacationed at Disney World for five days in December, 2008. My grandsons are 5 and 2. We used the Birnbaum's book as our guide in each of the theme parks. It was very helpful. Our 5 year old loved the characters and used the autograph section for the numerous characters we saw. I highly recommend... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I was on lunch break at a previous job and reading Walden Pond by Henry David Thoreau for the second time in my life. My co-worker comes up to me and said, "is that a good book, I've never read it?". I told him it was a book I could relate to, because I too like being outside and surrounded by... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I read this book right before a trip to Australia, finished on the first leg of the flight. The whole time traveling around the country (great place by the way), I found myself seeing and hearing things right off the pages. My wife got so tired of listening to my chuckle and me trying to explain... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 16. |  | Assassination Vacation
from Simon & Schuster
Price: $11.20
Customer Review:
Sarah Vowell's mind tends to wander. My mind tends to wander too. Usually that's not a good combination. When an author tends to go offtrack I get lost but with "Assassination Vacation" it was very easy for me to wander down the path she laid out in the book.
In this book she did something too... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

from Little, Brown and Company
Price: $18.47
Customer Review:
Heat-Moon is as talented as ever interviewing ordinary people who turn out to be extraordinary under his friendly scalpel. But his obsession with his word "Quoz" is neverending and tiresome. Great book if every reference to "Quoz" were removed. | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
I read this book (age 57) when my daughter(age 20) was training to climb Aconcagua and I was petrified. She is a good athlete but had never climbed mountains. A friend recommended it to me. As much as I love the rest of the book, what was most poignant to me was the part about how survivors have a... more info | 4.0 / 5.0
