"A great read as the authors have a passion for travelling. Although, a nasty typo in one of the first stories was annoying."

    " This book sounds like a great idea, but I found that the stories were not all that compelling. After reading the first couple, I leafed through the rest, but did not find a lot that I thought were a great read. Maybe I had higher expectations? "

    " Very inconsistent but has a few gems. Many are not stories so much as anecdotes. My favorites were Joyce Carol Oates, DBC Pierre, and Frances Mayes. "
