1.0 out of 5 stars Not Comprehensive - A Dreamer, January 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Fun with the Family in Connecticut (Paperback)

The book would be great if the author had really experienced the place written about. I've lived here all my life, and spent most of my advanced years visiting and supporting these various tourist sights. I was very disappointed that the author left out so many of the wonderful places available to mom's and their young. Of course these places are available to interested fathers also. Take the time to be with your kids ( forget the kitchen, it will be there when you get back)and enjoy Connecticut. But, go to a visitor center for a listing of the Hot Spots for Kids! This book is an entry level look at Connecticut from a busy mom's rushed experiences. Not bad. Just not the authors best work.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent guide to Connecticut for the whole family, August 2, 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: Fun with the Family in Connecticut (Paperback)

Doe Boyle's Fun with the Family in Connecticut is exceptional. The text is enjoyable to read as well as informative. It is clear she personally visited many of the sites. It is rare that a family travel guide is written so well. I've found tons of things to do with my family after reading her book. The book is so well done I read it cover to cover simply for pleasure. Family adventure guide is simply fabulous.
