Title: Book more practical than TV show
Review: Rick Steeves sometimes get a bad rap because many have seen his TV shows, which sometimes come across as simple and lacking detail. His books though are much more practical, and his hotel recommendations have, in my experience in France, Spain, and Italy, never missed. For whatever reason, his influence seems to be greatest on tourists to Italy relative Spain or France.My biggest criticism about Rick Steeves is that he seems to have little interest in food, and his restaurant recommendations are not as good ( I follow the Michelin guide for those).
Is the review positive or negative?
