Summary: Great Book!
Review: I've lived in Houston for 2 1/2 years now, and my husband and I bought this book when we moved here. We've done several "fun things" from the book. It's great to have when visitors come into town. There are many unknown treasures of Houston in this book. I highly recomend it if you live in Houston and are wanting some fun things to do.

Summary: Highly Useful, the best.
Review: I've lived in the Houston area nearly 17 years, but when my grandchildren came for a visit, I knew very few places to take them. I didn't want a book about elegant dining or trendy nightlife. I needed this book! It even gives driving directions!

Summary: Good, compact guide...but a bit dated
Review: If you live in Houston, or are simply visiting, this is a cool guide to use as a reference. For some non-Texans, some of the selections might be surprising, or down-right puzzling. Overall, this is a good guide, but I often find that some of the information included is somewhat dated. Make sure you double-check the information in the guide by calling ahead. There is nothing more frustrating than planning several day trips, only to find that one or more of the selected destinations are no longer in business, or are now operating with a new schedule. Still, I recommend this guide because it is very comprehensive and varied.

Summary: Very user friendly
Review: This book is a great help if you are in Houston for a short time or live here. It divides the sections up nicely as to what you are looking for and suggests activities/event/eateries. The format is easy to browse through, and even has nice handy maps to show you where all the places are (so you can see what is close). Very much recommended.
