Nice to leaf thru, but on the shallow side, no depth, October 9, 2011
This review is from: In the Spirit of the Hamptons (Hardcover)
Borrowed this book, thinking it would be a little different from photos and descriptions we see all the time. Nice photos, but I was looking for depth and interesting style and twists to pique my interest in this famed locale. Instead it was a bunch of pretty pictures with dim prose. This is not an interesting collection, but it's fairly nice in a very ordinary and pedestrian way. I wouldn't buy this book-- flip through it for five minutes and you're done.

A True Picture of the Hamptons, December 13, 2004
This review is from: In the Spirit of the Hamptons (Hardcover)
Kelly Lilloren-Bensimon truly has accomplished what she set out to do; to capture and express to others the true spirit of the hamptons. Whith her myriad of photographs and well written commentary she expresses the Hamptons in a way few others she. She truly melds the old fishing community with the new Platinum community. I feel though that her last line epxresses her book and the spirit of the Hamptons best. "The hamptons is a place where are drivign home and the sunset is so breathtakingly beautiful you have to pull over and watch for a while."
