Customer Reviews

The extra best book that you can buy, with vinyl and stripes

I never thought a travel book could be so literate and engaging. It's almost as if the author grew up on the border of Iowa and Nebraska, possibly on the Iowa side. He paints a festive atmosphere about all the visited locales, and he does it with such interest that you can actually SEE the diamond so big it's gonna make you puke at the Iowa State Fair, TASTE the cup-o-pizza they sell at the Grotto of the Redemption, HEAR the townsfolk of Kearney, Nebraska singing "Picking Out a Thermos for You" in the Bandshell on Sunday nights after church, SMELL the perfumed dancers on the private disco floors of Scottsbluff, FEEL the ashtray, the remote control, the paddle game, this magazine and the chair at the Iowa Great Lakes.There was a special on VH1 where a former roommate of Munson was telling a story about living in their apartment, Munson's first. "I just really remember after I'd lived there a while, the guy from U.S. West came with the phone books. Kyle picks it up and starts, like, freaking out about it. He's all, 'The new phone book's here! The new phone book's here! This is the kind of spontaneous publicity I need! My name in print! That really makes somebody! Things are going to start happening to me now.' And I was all, 'Chill dude.'"Well, all I can say is that the new Iowa/Nebraska TravelSmart book is here. Buy it if you plan on going to either of those places, or, as the previous reviewer so insightfully stated, buy it if you're going to both.

KYLE MUNSON RULES!

WHAT A GREAT SOURCE OF INFORMATION ON BOTH IOWA AND NEBRASKA. IT TRULY IS A BLOCKBUSTER OF A READ! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND IT FOR ANYONE TRAVELING TO EITHER IOWA OR NEBRASKA - OR BOTH. IN FACT IF I DIDN'T ALREADY LIVE IN IOWA - AFTER READING THIS BOOK - I'D CERTAINLY CONSIDER A VISIT. I MAY EVEN GO OVER TO NEBRASKA.
