Summary: PETER GREENBERG IS A GREAT TRAVEL REPORTER
Comment: Peter Greenberg is the only person regularly writing about travel who actually does research and investigative reporting. As he points out at the beginning of the book, he talks about travel as news on the NBC-TV "Today Show" and writes about travel as news in his books. There are lots of travel writers out there who give wonderful descriptions of ballooning through Burgundy or climbing the pyramids. But Peter writes about the nuts & bolts of travel. I make twenty-five or thirty trips each year to locations all over the world and I thought I knew a lot about dealing with airlines until I read his "Flight Crew Confidential." Now, I am experiencing the same sense of amazement as I read this new book about hotels. Suddenly, I am staying in better rooms and paying less money! The level of detail he offers is amazing. Every traveler I know complains about the hotel telephone charges, and he gives you a half dozen ways to beat them. I followed his advice about doing internet research and then negotiating with the hotel directly. Last week I stayed in a suite in Paris for less than it had cost me for just a room last year. If you are a nervous traveler, don't read his chapter on hotel security: the lax handling of everything from terrorism to towel theft is scary. Greenberg is both informative and entertaining in this book. If you follow his advice, you will easily save more than the cost of the book on your first trip.

Summary: Don't Leave Home Without It
Comment: Once again, Peter Greenberg offers insider advice and tips and tricks you can't find anywhere else to get the best deals, stay safe and clean, and spend money wisely. His engaging and highly readable style and the book's excellent organization make it easy to find exactly what you're looking for. He's an essential travel companion whether for business or vacation...and I'm planning to give the book to every frequent traveler I know.

Summary: Give me a break
Comment: What a smug and obtrusive book. Clearly, the author has done a ton of traveling, but the real story would seem to be the road killed left behind. The book could have been written in one sentence; Take advantage of everyone and leave no prisoners!!!
