World Travels of a Common Man

Rating:
Summary: Entertaining
Review: From cover to cover this book kept me reading. In the book, Mr. Price accounts his travels from all over the world. But this book is more than a mere travel guide, he gives insightful commentary on the people and the cultures of each land in addition to some of the nation's history to help explain why things are the way they are. Infused with personal experiences and preferences it gives the reader a sense of realism and depth to the writtings and not just some generic neutral emptyness. The author also gives recomendations on the best places to go for, lodging, sight seeing, transportation, and entertainment; based on his experiences. This is a great read for the potential world traveler or the individual interested in a little lesson in culture and history.

Summary: Travel of Surprises
Review: I enjoyed the book very much. I started reading it as if it would be just a guide of places to visit for their panoramic beauty. I was most surprised to find myself immersed and truly enjoying their history, their culture. Mr. Price has done an excellent job in describing the richness of our civilization. I would recommend this book for the parent that wants to spice an exciting trip with the flavor of culture.

Review: Review from LLanelli Star, Wales, UK
Factual and interesting, World Travels of A Common Man recounts the travels of one man's journey across the globe's major continents. It seems that the World really is Jeremy price's oyster as he recounts his travels in one sensibly divided volume. Packed with snaps of the world's favorite landmarks, this informative text isn't quite a 'Rough guide' to the countries visited , but it does give a good idea of what to see and where to go with a little history on the side. The most interesting sections are on Japan where the culture varies considerably from that of the western world, where the Shinkasen bullet train travels at 160 mph with precision we would never expect in Britain.
