Everything by Jim Weiss is outstanding, but this tape stands out as one of his best. Even though we have listened to it many times, the kids and I enjoy it every time. We all have favorite stories and characters. After we first got the tape, the kids went off on a fairly long binge of acting out the King Arthur stories.

Jim Weiss has the perfect reading manner. His voice is clear, his pacing is superb, his adaptations are very good. We have had a carload of antsy kids for an hour car ride and they are all silent and attentive for the entire tape. We have been known to sit in the car for 5 minutes after we have arrived to hear the end of a story (even ones we've heard before).

I recommend this tape and any tape by Jim Weiss without any qualifications. They are superb for kids and very good for adults. You will not be disappointed.

I took your book all over Europe. I found it very helpfull untill we got to Paris. I didn't realize that there were so many train stations around Paris and that so few people spoke English. The information desk was closed and we didn't know that the subway stops were listed by the last stop. We came out of the metro near the latin quarter and had a nice tour of Paris on the red buses for a very good rate. Also people traveling to Milan must know that using the hotel registry is a joke. I got a much better deal at the tourist desk at the train station!

This guide is as deep as a guide about the whole Europe can be. It presents many tips and brief information about the countries, like main attractions, hotels, restaurants and transport. Be careful, you won't find many eastern European countries here. If you're going to use it for planning it's excelent. You'll find web sites, prices and a rail map, but not a road map, to help you. It's a little bit heavy to carry around, and almost not illustrated. The attractions are ranked so you can imagine what worth a visit.

A great overview on Europe and provides the essential information on getting around, what to see, where to stay and where to eat. I've just returned from my first trip to Europe and found the information very useful, relevant and up to date. Definately pack this one!
