Review: Lynn's book has been very helpful as I've planned my first trip to Paris. I've already used her hotel recommendations and I can't wait to implement her other shopping and dining recommendations! The book was a gift -- and a great one!

Summary: Spending Like Lynn
Review: This book may be helpful for women who have never travelled alone, but note: bring your credit cards! Suggestions such as hiring a driver to take you on a private tour of the city and taking cabs everywhere not only tend to insulate you from the very culture you travelled so far to experience, but are also simply not practical/financially possible for many people - women or no. Hotel and restaurants are also mostly in upper-moderate to expensive range. The tone is not that of an empowered female traveler taking care of herself, but more that of one seeking to protect herself from all possible mishap by playing it safe. Finally, I found the content extremely skimpy for the price. Guess if you have the money to travel as Lynn does, this would not be a concern.

Summary: This book is packed with information and great fun to read
Review: This is a truly unique travel book. The descriptions of accommodations, food, and places to visit are great, and the book is loaded with anecdotes and practical advice, making it lots of fun to read. This book is obviously written by somebody who has spent a lot of time in, and loves, Paris. I've already given two books to friends and they've loved them!

Summary: Great bon voyage gift for traveling friends
Review: We have already given 7 copies to friends who are traveling to Paris, or Europe. It's small enough to fit in a purse or a small pack. The hint about how to not look like an American tourist (easy mark) is worth the cost alone. It is written in easy to understand, and humorous language. I highly recommend it.
