Summary: Something more suitable for negative reviewers
Review: I have lived in the mitten state my entire life. I love it. Michigan ROCKS. This book is more like a funeral dirge... I think that is a common problem with these low budget tour book companies that churn out books about places written, very often it seems, by non natives. I think you are better off using AAA guides.

Summary: And I thought I knew southeastern Michigan
Review: I picked up this book in a local bookstore expecting to flip through it and put it down after 10 seconds, like I do with 99% of books. But each page I looked at wound up being an "Oh really?" moment.I know southeastern Michigan very well, and as an uncle of FIVE kids ages 6 and under, I thought I knew my points of interest. Not so fast my friends, this book is priceless. Almost without fail I can flip to any page at a moments notice and bail myself out of a boring situation. I don't know how long the author spent seeking out and discovering these places, but I'm so glad she did. Because it's taken a ton of stress out of my life. If your responsible for the entertainment of kids in Michigan for any period of time, I have three words for you: Buy This Book.

Summary: Great alternatives to mind-numbing entertainment chains!
Review: I'm a divorced dad who is always looking for creative things to do with my kids that DOES NOT involve anything with "Chuck" or "Cheeze" in its name. I had no idea that there were great alternatives here in the Detroit area and throughout Michigan. This book skips the corporate chains and focuses on fun and educational things to do that parents can enjoy, too. I recommend this book as required reading for any Michigan native or visitor who enjoys spending time with their kids.

Review: In response to R. Wade and "A Reader from NYC:" Probably a more suitable local guide for the two of you would be "A Pathetic Single Mother's Guide to Wallowing, Bitching and the Art of Gluttony." Perhaps a technical writer could author such a work, but the skill level probably just isn't there.

Summary: Miles from standard
Review: You want color? Read Conde Naste. You want some very cool, beyond-the-norm things to do and places to visit with your kids? Buy this book. Look, keep taking your kids to chain entertainment venues and predictable afternoon excursions and that's how they're going to think when they get older -Â in an unoriginal and boring fashion. This book, I think, is rife with great, dare I say it, exciting destinations full of zeal and originality. Give to your kids something they can tell and describe to others their age and you're giving to them an advantage Nike doesn't make and The Gap can't market. It's the one book I know of where you could flip randomly to a page, go experience one spot on that page and not be disappointed. But, if you like sitting on your rump, eating [bad stuff] and fighting for an original thought, than you might be better off with Major Magic's or the mall. Big ups to the author for creating a fool-proof, one-of-a-kind guide to our righteous metro Detroit area and beyond.
