As the author himself admits, a very disjointed style, but an interesting take, well if somewhat confusingly told.

What made Matt Gross' columns as "The Frugal Traveler" for the New York Times so engaging was the fact that he is, first and foremost, a good writer. He tells a story -- not about the broad details of a place, but about how he experienced it. There are far too many "be sure to eat at this restaurant" guides out there today. What Matt is able to do is give his readers a reason to go out and explore.

This book continues what has worked in his past writing, blending travel stories about people and places with his own memoirs and experiences as a travel writer. This book is not a travel guide -- and other reviewers may complain about this fact, but I see it as a strength. What Matt does well in this book is tell a good story.

And, at the end of the day, what all of us want from our travels are those great stories.

This book wasn't what I expected. I thought it would be more of a travel log but it was almost more of a memoir about his career. Not enough information or stories about countries he visited. I didn't finish it.

Better when Gross is telling travel stories; less so when he starts philosophizing. Stick to travel writing, please. When he starts monologuing you realize he seems like kind of a jerk. But the actual travel stories are good and redeem the book.
