5.0 out of 5 stars A definitive, whimsical, and informed look into California., January 25, 1999
This review is from: Culture Shock! California (Culture Shock! A Survival Guide to Customs & Etiquette) (Paperback)
Unlike average travel guides that list tourist traps in a droning disinterested voice, the author imbues California with life using a charming, very witty writing style. Simply put, he brings California to life for the reader. The guide he provides is unique and thoroughly enjoyable. The photographs selected are great in capturing the beauty of the state. I would recommend this book for anyone looking to explore California or just intersted in travelling through the written word.

This review is from: Culture Shock! California (Culture Shock! A Survival Guide to Customs & Etiquette) (Paperback)
Interesting. If you are new to California, it's totally a good read. The author gives many tips on where to go, who you can contact, and what's fun to do in California. It's also just a good cultural read.
