My Favorite Book of All Time,
By Ginger (Oregon, U.S.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Richard Halliburton's Complete Book of Marvels (Hardcover)
I found a 1941 copy of this book at a military DRMO sale for a quarter in Berlin, Germany in 1990 just after the fall of the Berlin Wall. I found a kindred spirit in Richard Halliburton. I joined the military with Europe guarranteed in my contract because of my thirst to see the world. I was very fortunate to be stationed in Berlin during the fall of the Wall, and was sent to Saudi Arabia and Kuwait during the Gulf war. Later, my husband, son and myself were stationed in Spain and I was able to visit Morocco, Africa and Gibraltor and Portugal. On these adventures I always felt as if I were a co-conspirator with Mr. Halliburton. I soaked up every minute and second during my adventures knowing that eventually I would have to leave these places and wanted them to last forever in my mind. When I found this book, I first thought before I read it, "This looks interesting." Now it is a treasure to me. Now that my son is older I will start reading it to him. I would like to buy other books by him and am dismayed that they too are out of print. I hope something can be done about that.

Richard Halliburton's Book of Marvels,
By "catombro" (Ocean Isle Beach, NC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Richard Halliburton's Complete Book of Marvels (Hardcover)
I'm now 58 years old, but still remember first reading this book when I was 10. I can't remember how many times I would pick up this book and be transported as a child to so many different cultures. If I could find it, I would read it over and over and then give it to my grandchild when I felt he was old enough to even look at the pictures. I credit Mr. Halliburton with not only showing me the world, but starting me on my life long love of books. I too wish this book could be brought back into print. It belongs in every school and every home, for young and old alike.

This review is from: Richard Halliburton's Complete Book of Marvels (Hardcover)
My father bought this book for me when I was 6, back in the middle 50s. While my other friends were boringly reading "run, spot, run," I was being introduced to places I could only wonder about. I was entranced by his chapter on Chichen Itza and that chapter alone was THE push that allowed me to become an archaeologist many years later. Richard Halliburton will always be a hero of mine, as he gave me a love of travel, other cultures, reading, and learning. I think there is a small pocket of people across the world who have been touched by this author in the same way I have.
