My Review:
4 stars
This was
both an unusual and fun book to read. I was drawn in by the title, and so I was
eager to see what the book was about and how helpful it would actually be. Just
because someone writes a “guide” or “how-to” book, doesn’t mean it’s actually
helpful or well-written. This book was not your typical “how-to” though. While it
did have a lot of practical advice and know-how, it was a mind-opening type of
book. Even if you couldn’t (or didn’t want) to do any of the suggestions in the
book, you would still get something out of it. It definitely got me thinking
outside of the box on possibilities I hadn’t thought of. My roommate and I both
want to travel during the summer, but we don’t have a lot of money to spend, so
we thought we wouldn’t be able to. Reading this book has expanded my thinking,
and has reignited our plans to travel and explore this summer.
I know
that some people won’t like this book, considering it too “hippie sounding” or unrealistic.
But honestly, I actually enjoyed the writing style. The author is very laid
back and enthusiastic, and it shows in his writing, which I enjoyed. While
there are some grammatical errors and repetition in the book, it was still a
fun read. All in all, while I may or may not use all the ideas in this book, I
have started rethinking my assumption that vacations and travel are a luxury
and expensive. You can have a great time at a great price, and this book
definitely shows that. I would definitely recommend reading it, it’s worth the
price.
