Title: Not what I was expecting
Product review: I normally love travel essays, but this one was unexpectedly boring. The cover made me think it was going to be thrilling and exciting, but it was just a bunch of articles the author had published elsewhere and lumped into this book.I only got through the first two articles before putting the book down and never picking it up again. I've been looking for a great woman travel writer, but I'm sad to say I didn't find it in Susan Orlean. Perhaps if she'd started the book of with something more interesting to me I'd have been able to get into it more.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
