I was disappointed.,
By
This review is from: Connecticut 24/7 (Hardcover)
Connecticut 24/7 was a disappointment to me. The cover proclaims ,
"Amazing Photographs of An Extraordinaty State". I found that approx. 50% of the photographs did not give someone a "view" of Connecticut , but instead were somewhat "generic" in what they portrayed. "a child reading a book in bed","a baby looking out a house window", "children in art class","dogs in the back of a car","a man in a bathroom" Photos such as these , did not serve to enhance my visual perception of what Connecticut looks like. Do not get me wrong , "all" the photos are indeed beautiful. It is just that I expected a book of photos of the State of Connecticut, to have each photograph show a scence that was "unique" to Connecicut.

5.0 out of 5 stars
I want one for myself!,
This review is from: Connecticut 24/7 (Hardcover)
I purchased this book to give to someone else as a gift -- someone from another country who might like to see a little bit of what life is like here in Connecticut. But now that I've seen it, I'm going to order another for myself. This is the most beautiful book that seems to capture the state we're from perfectly. I truly want to leave it out on my coffee table to look at time and time again and I have NEVER said that about a book in my entire life (except for personal photo albums perhaps).
