Book Description

Cuba has for centuries drawn travelers to its shores. Ever since Columbus dropped anchor in 1492, this "jewel of the Caribbean" has continued to weave its spell over visitors, attracted nowadays by colorful carnivals and the vibrant rhythms of son, salsa and rumba. Despite the very real hardship of the Cuban people, their zest for life is at the very heart of the island's appeal. For this third edition of Cuba: The Bradt Travel Guide author Stephen Fallon has returned to the island to update every aspect of travel, from hotels, and resorts to restaurants and transport. No matter what your budget, you can be confident that this is the guide for you, both on and off the beaten track. Cuba: The Bradt Travel Guide contains detailed coverage of hotels and resorts to help you plan your trip, how to beat the bureaucracy, getting around, from buses and trains to hire cars and bicytaxis, Havana in depth, including old town history and architecture, where to find the best salsa music as well as computer-generated maps new for this edition.

A good guide, however, there are better guides........2001-03-20

This guide falls in the middle tier of the Cuba Guide Books. A British publication and British author, Stephen Fallon has a good grasp of Cuba and this third edition guide is current and up to date through 1999 (though published in 2000). His writing is direct, generally informative, but he lacks the engaging writing style of the top guides on Cuba (see reviews on Cuban guides by Christopher Baker and/or David Stanley).

The central part of the guide (accommodations, restaurants and sights) is accurate and descriptive. Though scant in the listing for hotels and restaurant in Havana, Fallon has selected the best and he has given you a sufficient number to select from. However, budget travels will not get a listing of private home that are legal to use and a significant savings from the hotels. The restaurant's listings have a very good description, but lack a pricing gage. The maps were easy to use and above the average for Cuban guides.

The index DID NOT list hotels or restaurants, and this required that I to flip through the section until I found the listing I wanted information on (especially a hassle in Havana). There were no email or Internet addresses (especially for the hotels) to speak of, even though the published date is 2000 and almost every hotel in this book that I checked was using cyberspace for the last few years.

This is a good guide, however, there are better guides (Cuba: Moon Travel, Cuba: Rough Guide and Cuba: Lonely Planet in that order [see reviews]) that I recommend you consider first. Recommended

OK but not as good as Fodors.......2001-01-01

This is a ok guide to Cuba, but for a few more bucks you can get the Fodors guide to Cuba which is much better.

Book Description

This collection of moving black-and-white photographs of recipients of the Medal of Honor shows not the glory of war, but the underlying spirit and humanity of true heroism. Forty-eight portraits are combined with comments, observations, and statements from the recipients of America's highest military honor. This compilation of words and pictures of men who served in the U.S. Navy, Air Force, Army, and Marine Corps is both humbling and poignant. Their actions and lives vary as much as the conflicts (World War II, Korea, and Vietnam) and include a conscientious objector who never wielded a weapon and a man known as the "Last Eagle," as he was the last World War II pilot to retire. Each recipient's full official citation is included in the appendix.

A GREAT READ.......2003-06-25

There are a couple of good books about CMH winners. The thing I liked about this one was the photo's. All the winners in this book survived, and we get to see the man, as well read about his actions.
I really enjoyed this one. A very fast read

Touching on a different level.......2001-07-28

Mr. Casalini's book is incredible -- I found myself tearing up at some of the descriptions and pictures. These men are incredibly brave, but at the same time, none seemed to be anything but the guy next door. The wonderfulness of ordinary was truly captured and championed in this amazing book.

A remarkable and memorable compilation of portrait studies.......2001-07-06

Ordinary Heroes is a remarkable and memorable compilation of portrait studies showcasing winners of the Congressional Medal of Honor. Each photo is accompanied by an insightful caption or quotation arising from photographer Tom Casalini's personal interview with the recipient. Ordinary Heroes is a virtually unique contribution to military studies and a very highly recommended addition to community library collections -- especially as a Veteran's Day memorial acquisition or as a memorial donation by a Veteran's group or association.

Discover the Wonderfulness of Ordinary.......2001-02-07

While attempting with words to enter into the souls of the Congressional Medal of Honor recipients, Tim Wallis' commentary ebbs on the ordinary heroes, who are protectors of the Medal of Honor. The tremendous impact of the words that are spoken is second only to the full page photographs of the father/husband/patriot's in all their splendor. The photographs are not of men in full dress with the Medal around their neck, as you would think, but of them on the back porch, in the orchard or merely on the couch in prayer. The book shows us all what can be found if only we look a little harder. We too might discover the wonderfulness of ordinary.

Christine's review.......2007-07-05

I am a HUGE Bon Jovi fan. I did enjoy this book, but it left me wanting more. I expected more information other than what every Bon Jovi fan already knows. It didn't delve deep into the real solid relationship between the band members. The story is about Jon and how he got started. If you're hoping for information about his marriage and children, you will be disappointed. This book is not a behind the scenes look at the man, but more about life with the band, the struggles and achievements.

Jon Bon Jovi.......2007-03-28

Jon Bon Jovi is great and this is a great book about him.

junk mail!.......2007-01-21

Pass this one up. As a longtime BonJovi fan, I usually enjoy reading anything about the band but this book is just rehash. She's never met or interviewed the boys, she just put together other people's work and called it a book. Don't waste your money.

Have a nice day .......2006-01-11

I did not think I would learn anything new that I did not already know before, but this book was much more informative than I expected. It talks in depth about all the reasons behind everything, about Jon's early inspirations, and how all of the hits ranked on the charts.
Although it was overflowing with endless knowledge, the facts seemed to just be listed off on the page at times. I wish that she wrote it as more of a story so that the reader is drawn in deeper so that they can feel like they were there. So that when the ending comes around, the reader feels like they truly know Jon Bon Jovi. His story is so easy to get caught up in all the emotion and excitement, but she hindered that effect by just laying out the facts. She tried to express his determined personality, great accomplishments, humble beginnings, and drive by using descriptive language. Her choice of words were great, but it didn't flow well and the British slang made one too many appearances.
At parts she would give away what happens further into his life, which might not bother most people, but it bothered me. If Jon didn't know of something at that point in his life, then the reader shouldn't know it at that point in the story either. That way the reader can better connect to Jon and might be able to better understand what he was going through.
She used many quotes by all of the band members of the band to better describe events happening, even though the quotes were from the media. I won't bash her for not interviewing the band because I know that they are very reluctant to give away their inside story. So she did her best in gathering and organizing all of the information she has obtained throughout the years.
Even though this is a biography about Jon, she still talks a great deal about the other members of the band. But she doesn't overdo it so much that it would have to be called a biography on the band Bon Jovi because she doesn't talk about their childhoods or go too in depth about their personal lives, just about their time spent in the band with Jon.

Nothing new/wrong.......2005-06-27

As an old Bon Jovi fan I was completely dissapointed by this book. It is absolutely clear that the content is based just on the info gathered from media and the author haven't even met the band members or other people mentioned in the book. Some of the facts and opinions in the book are very doubtful. I think any Bon Jovi fan could write a better 'biography'. Dont waste money on this one.

MUST HAVE FOR BON JOVI FANS.......2000-03-28

This book gives an in depth history of this legendary band from New Jersey. In talks about the band before they were signed up to 1994. It goes in depth about the bands relationship when it was on the rocks in the early 90's and also dedicates an entire chapter to the dispute between bon jovi and skid row. it is written by someone who has followed the band for years and is a respected hard rock journalist. From their first appearence at the Monsters of Rock in donnington to the moscow peace festival this book has it all. For people interested in illustration, there are plenty of pictures as well. other great books by this author include Motley Crue: Lude Crude and Rude

All Night Long... : The True Story of Bon Jovi.......2001-08-23

It's clear from this book that this guy cannot write. Bon Jovi are huge and have a huge story to tell. Can you tell it in 99 pages? Of course not. Where 'The Dirt' by Motley Crue is sublime, this book by Wall is ridiculous. There is no style to his writing. His words are far from exciting, and, are infact, boring. Clearly he has done this just for the money. Unless of course, he just can't write. I suspect he is a college grad who's pa works for the publishing company. You get no insight into the band here, and you learn nothing new. Motley Crue are much finer storytellers, and they are not even writers. (Yes I know the book was ghost written by journo Neil Strauss.) Save your money on this one. I have all the books on Bon Jovi, and this is the only one I'd say steer well clear of. It's just a shame I can't get my money back. Still, die hard Jovi fans will lap it up purely because it's about their fave band and they have to have all the stuff they can collect. But anyone with a brain will give up on this past page 12. Mick Wall, who is he? Get a life and learn to write, buddy! But please, no more rock bios! Leave it to the pro's, like Neil Strauss!

All Night Long... : The True Story of Bon Jovi.......2001-08-23

I CAN'T SEE..........2000-03-28

I can't see how a book with only 96 pages can cover all the aspects of the career of such a great, good and famous band as Bon Jovi, with already almost twenty years on the road. TO to that, it is necessary a book like Mick Wall wrote about Iron Maiden, called "RUN TO THE HILLS", with almost 300 pages filled with text (not photos).

All Hail the Great Bon Jovi.......2000-03-17

Do you love the Bon jovi as much as i do? Still get goose bumps when you hear Always or the beginning chords of Wanted? Or have you just discovered this great band and want to find out just what you've been missing all these years? Then this book is for you! It covers the everything from their slow but steady start in the bars of New Jersey until their record breaking days as one of the greatest live rock and roll bands ever! But read this book quick because with their new album CRUSH about to hit stores, in June I am quite sure the story is not over. And there will be a quite a few more bon jovi books to read in the not to distant future. But for now this is the best Bon jovi book out there.

A must for Bon Jovi fans!.......2000-03-08

I am a big Bon Jovi fan which made this book very interesting to me. It starts with Jon recording at the Power Station to the madness of Slippery When Wet and New Jersey, to the writing for the These Days album. It covers the trials and tribulations of the band that almost broke them apart and the counseling that brought them back together. Gives great insight to the Young Guns II album with the number one single Blaze of Glory. It is written in British style that makes it harder to read and understand at times but flows well. This is a must for all rock fans and especially fans of the best rock and roll band ever.

The only reason I give this book only 3 stars is that the author did not even get the color of Jon Bon Jovi's eye correct! It makes me wonder what else is not correct.

The songs of Bon Jovi.......2000-04-13

The Complete Guide to the Music of Bon Jovi is an awesome book to read if you are a big fan. This book tells about their songs beginning with their first album Bon Jovi and going through the album These Days. Each song has it's own description of what it's about, where the idea came from to write it, and from who. If that isn't awesome enough, there are several photos of the band doing photo shoots and playing in concerts. This is definitely a book worth owning if you love Bon Jovi.

On the other half of the sky..........2000-04-07

Not so long ago, I made a trip in Bon Jovi's world... It was a friday night, strange and unbelieveble night. I have been sat on my bed, and looked up to the cover of this book... My favorite band. I opened it, and have been discovered the other side of the simple blue pic, with five guys, figured on the cover... An unknown story appeared in all those interview's parts, since the begining up till 1996. Each tiny paragraphs was a part of memories related by the band's members. A cute diary that brought me in the Bon Jovi's reality... I can't remember when I was turned the last page and closed the book, but I know that when the sun has been woken me, the book was close to me, my hand still on it, and a song has been lodged in my head. I guess it was I sleep when I'm dead... But maybe it was just a dream:) A kind of trip, on the other half of the sky... Hope you'll enjoy it as I was...

Still True to Themselves.......2001-12-11

This book is an essential for any "new" fans wanting to pick up on the history of Bon Jovi from the very beginning, or a long-time fan like myself looking to add worthwhile items to their memorabilia. From the outlines of the lead singer's childhood to the history of the members of the band, we follow their rise to glory from playing at high school proms to the release of one of the best selling albums of all time. The book is well researched, with quotes garnered from school friends, teachers and family members - as well as the band members themselves - giving an incisive view of the lads from New Jersey who were going to make it big no matter what, through hard work, determination and most importantly, talent. The text answers questions which now regularly crop up around the jovi-fan community. The snapshot descriptions of concerts, the hysteria, the desire of Jon Bon Jovi to literally reach out and touch his fans, remembering where he came from, touch the memories of "older" fans, and give an insight to the "newer" fan. One of the most interesting things to note is that John Bongiovi (the man, not the rockstar) especially has remained true to himself, his friends and his beliefs: still lives in Jersey, has the same names working with him now as from the beginning and involves himself even more with charity work. What has changed is his attitude towards an acting career. But that's another book. If you're looking for a no-nonsense, fact based book about the years up until 1986/87, this is the one for you.
