Summary: Great Short Stories from the Lonely Planet writers
Comment: If you love travel, you'll love this book.
The book is a collection of short stories from the writers of Lonely Planet. It's a great behind the scenes look at the people that put together the high quality books.
Charming, funny, and even scary stories make this book a wonderful read.
Many of the stories will make you laugh out loud, others will make you thankful that you weren't there!
Lonely Planet Unpacked will help you relive your own travel adventures. Only people that have truely traveled (backpacked)will get something out of this book. As for all travelers have their own tales to tell, and this book lets you hear what others have faced in the pursuit of seeing the world.
A great read!

Summary: Disappointing to say the least.
Comment: I wish I had read the reviews of the first volume of this series because if I had I might have not wasted both the money, and time I spent on this book.
It is almost impossible for me to believe these are even the second best stories that Lonely Planet could find among all the writers they have hired over the years. This book actually makes it less likely I will use their guidebooks from now on. Why should I use a company that seems to hire people who are either drunk much of the time, naive beyond belief, or both.
The travails of a man who got so drunk he missed his charter flight home from the Canary Islands. Another story of having a dental plate worked on during a holiday. Is this really the best stories they can find?
While there are several moderately good stories here, spend your money more wisely on some great travel books by Dervla Murphy, Pico Iyer or, if you really want to read about someone pushing the envelope, try Danziger's Travels.
