Editorial Reviews

From Library Journal

The publisher of Greenline Press presents a guide to the biggest festivals and parties in North America, including information on hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, events, and more. The guide caters to a specific population: young people willing to spend a lot of money to get to huge festivals. Except for the lack of disability information, the information is quite comprehensive, Unfortunately, the book's organization is problematic: events are listed chronologically, and each listing includes a schedule of what to do at what time, with a separate section giving the alternatives (for hotels, restaurants, etc.). Since few people will want to follow the schedule exactly, this means looking in several places to figure out what to do. And the information is even further scattered by the use of boxes, sidebars, and special sections for explanations. The book also contains a "FunGuide 100 of the World's Most Fun Events." Recommended for public libraries that serve affluent populations.?Kathleen A. Shanahan, American Univ. Lib., Washington, DC

I loved spending time learning in detail how to enjoy some of what appear to be the most fun events happening in the US. Now I know where I will plan to go to have a great time!

Just as you wouldn't buy a 1999 travel guide to France, you shouldn't buy this 1999 travel guide to North America. Unfortunately, the information provided does not tell you that this is a 1999 guide but it is. This guide is tailored to specific events and dates in 1999. Don't waste your time or money.

Although the website does not offer this information, please note that this book refers to specific events in 1999 and 2000. While this book may have been informative in 1999 per the other reviewer's remarks, do not waste your time and money in 2002.
