The best-darned guidebook to the fabled area, The Ozarks, provides dozens of reasons to take a pass on Miami, Las Vegas, and Hollywood, and visit some of the most authentic places in the nation. Ron Marr has written a wonderfully entertaining guide that's filled with tons of advice on what to see, what to do, where to stay, where to eat, the best places to shop and the special events of the area. Branson, Missouri, has made the Ozarks the destination of choice for countless people, but Marr tells you all about the other great places that can be found across Missouri and Arkansas, and as he does you will find yourself laughing out loud and planning your next trip there.

Well-written and intelligent, with a good sense of humor to boot. Marr throws scores of ideas at the reader, and shows that, as a travel destination, The Ozarks can hold their own against some of the USA's best.

I've also purchased Missouri and Arkansas Off the Beaten Path guides, but they simply aren't quite as complete and don't convey the same sense of fun or authority as Marr's guide.

We just returned from a trip to the Ozarks today. We took the book everytime we got in the truck to go and do or see something. It was so helpful since all we had is what other people had said and those annoying billboards you see on the highway. I like the fact that the book talks about places and sometimes quirky attractions that are not the advertised attractions. The author also writes with a humorous flair and it is entertaining to read. I would recommend this book to anyone who is planning a trip to the Ozarks! A+
