If you seek to pick up a light read just before you're about to board the plane to New York then this'll make a good title to be added to your hand baggage. Fortunately, I was recently allowed 9kgs of excess baggage that comprised of 'just books' .
But, ... that's beside the point - this book is a very engaging read right from the word 'Go'.
Even as a travelogue, it serves as a good reference book to make you get the feel of what the city is like.
I've known the writer for plenty -many years, to safely say she's evolved and her writing speaks for itself.
If you are unsure whether the writer is worth your time, then take a leap of faith - the book only demands
- 30 minutes out a speed reader
- two dedicated hours of a long distance traveler
- and gifts two nights full of sleep (out of a slow reader), where you visit NYC in your dream - since its the second last thing you'd do before sleeping - the last thing probably being switching the lights out ...
To cut the long story short - GO, GET THE BOOK, TODAY!!!
