By Betsy, Boston, MA

"It's always tough to review a collection of writing, but this one had such consistantly enjoyable stories (and on such a breadth of places) that I would recommend it. Anthony Bourdain's contribution at the beginning is nearly non-existant, but that's perhaps to the book's benefit. A good read if you're feeling unable to commit to a single story-line and in need of a form of escapism."

"I totally bought this book because Bourdain was the editor. Some of the essays have been very interesting, especially Calvin Trilling (Singapore) and Seth Stevenson (Dubai). I'm saving the David Sedaris essay for last. I was sort of surprised that Bill Buford's piece didn't grab me, but maybe I'll get into it later."

"This collection was not as good as last year's collection, but it still had a few gems. One of my particular favorites was a travel essay written by a man who traveled down the Congo river on a huge ship. The fine line between luxury on the ship and the abject poverty on the banks of the river really opened your eyes."
