Nicole G. (nyteacher) reviewed Novel Destinations: Literary Landmarks From Jane Austen's Bath to Ernest Hemingway's Key West on + 152 more book reviews
I really enjoyed reading about the different literary destinations around the world, and now I have a list of places I want to visit. I also learned a lot of interesting trivia about great authors. My issue with the book was it's organization. The themes to chapters weren't consistent. Some were based on region, others specific authors or genres. Very early in the book there was a chapter called "more playful destinations" which seemed like it should be at the end for places that didn't fit in other places. I also found the layout distracting. I liked all the extra pieces of trivia and stories added, but the way they were placed in the middle of pages, it wasn't always clear where to read next. While I enjoyed the book, I found the issues with organization and layout detracted from it.
