Apple's America : The Discriminating Traveler's Guide to 40 Great Cities in the United States and Canada review:1 stars (Disappointing) - I bought this book thinking it would be new and different from all the other traveler's guides. I was sadly mistaken. I looked up my city - Boston. There is nothing described that you couldn't find on the internet for free. In addition, the recommended restaurants are either tired old spots that are just riding on their reputations or yesterday's hot spots, which in my opinion, are overpriced and not that great.

40 cities are covered - each is given about 10 pages (plus or minus a couple). That's not enough to even scratch the surface, especially when you consider the dimensions of the book. I guess I should have realized that before I bought the book, but I heard Apple interviewed on NPR and thought he was interesting; unfortunately, his book is not.5 stars (the best travel book everq) - Hands down, this is the best travel book I've ever read -- and I enjoyed reading it cover to cover, unlike many travel books. It's a combination of where to eat, stay and what to see as well as a fascinating history/commentary that really gives you a sense of what a city is like, the pulse. Apple is a fantastic writer and I trust his restaurant recommendations over any other writer/critic out there -- in the cities I know well, he's definitely included the best of the best eats, both high brow and low brow. I really hope he can update and re-publish his European guide soon. I don't want to travel anywhere without his guidance any more! 4 stars (Good book for reading.) - I had a wonderful time reading this book. Not bad. Go's into some interesting topics and covers the bases for the most part.
