2 out of 5 stars Disappointing   August 6, 2008
  1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Though this book isn't necessarily terrible, I can't imagine anyone to whom I would recommend it.br /br /My hope for this book was to learn about resorts around the world. Featured within its pages are hundreds of hotels, most of them from outside the US; so in that regard, the book met my expectations. But each hotel gets a paragraph of vague description at most, accompanied by a single photograph of something completely unappealing. Interested in visiting France's Hotel-Restaurant Bras? If not, then an enormous photograph of a patch of concrete isn't likely to convince you. Another entry is for a converted farmhouse in Europe; and while the brief description mentions the owners, the history, the decor of the place, it's accompanied by a picture of half of an ottoman against a backdrop of a wood-paneled wall.br /br /Imagine yourself reading this book and saying to yourself, "Until I saw this picture of half of an ottoman, I only thought I knew what paradise was; now, I know the truth". If that seems plausible, then by all means, pick up a copy for yourself.
