Shelves: nonfiction, travel

You know I love travel narratives. You know I hate textbooks. This book is a weird combination of travel narrative and textbook. The author had a great idea for a book; he found nothing out there on the US territories. He decided to visit the territories and fill in the gap. I was happy to read the parts of the book that were travel narratives. I was sad to read the parts of the book that were textbooks. Final rating: mixed.
