1.0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money!, March 3, 2006
This book is a real disappointment. Basically it mimicks public information that is readily available on-line and the restaurant recommendations are really suspect since I know of one that no longer exists and another that is dirty at best. I was expecting some seasoned "insider" info on things to do and see and eat. I wish I had my $$$ back to pay for the gas for my next day trip!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for Newcomers, March 21, 2007
By S. Forsgren (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a newcomer to Houston, I thought this book was a great introduction to all the neat things to do in the area. Rather than spend time looking it all up on the internet, I have a great guide right in front of me. I like it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Must-have for all Houstonians, September 22, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I had used a very old edition for years, planning family weekend trips that would please kids and grandparents. Of particular value are descriptions of scenic back roads that you would not find on your own. Of course, info on attractions and restaurants gest old quickly, so I bought this new edition. It has roughly double the information the old one had, and boy, did I miss some great new places with my old edition! Well, at least I now have a reason to go back there and try new fun and new food. Don't leave for weekend trips without this one, especially if you take along kids. Insider info like friendliness of a restaurant or how clean is the camping area - you won't find it in AAA guides or glossy tourist brochures. Also little-known B&Bs, time- and money-saving tips, even warnings about seasonally congested roads. Wow.
