5.0 out of 5 stars More of this, please, October 27, 2001
This review is from: 30 Great Cities to Start Out in (Paperback)
Cool book to get your young-person-with-the-world-ahead-of-her juices flowing. Sometimes practical, other times not. But the only book of its kind I could locate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good book,with one criticism, March 25, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: 30 Great Cities to Start Out in (Paperback)
I thought this book was pretty good.So good,that I've checked it out of the library at least 10 times over the last couple of years it's been published.The only problem that I have with the book is that it doesn't cover enough on the ethnic/cultural prospects of cities.And she doesn't give the positives and negatives of cities from a minority view like I felt she should have.One African American man said Minneapolis was "progressive" in terms of race relations,but I know of many people who won't hesitate to call it the worst place in the country for African Americans and other minorities.I wish she would've given two sides to every story.It doesn't seem as if she spent much time in minority communities.I also felt that there was a lot of homeless bashing by some of the respondents.I just wish that she would revise this book soon,because,overall,it's a VERY good read.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fascinating,yet practical and concise.Touches on all topics, July 27, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: 30 Great Cities to Start Out in (Paperback)
I am twenty-eight and find this book to be a very interesting read. It does a good job in providing a demographic/geographic overview. So far, it has been somewhat useful in taking a closer look at a couple of areas I've been considering. The only things lacking are a way to contact the author and more in-depth information on socioeconomic aspects and reference/source contact information. Overall this book was a good guidance investment.
