How to Survive Your First Year of Marriage by Traveling: San Tropez, France to Helena, Arkansas

The times it doesn t make sense you can feel free to blame the inadequacies of the editor.

Hopefully, you ll feel swept away on their travels, and taken away on their adventures. Hopefully, you ll smile and get more than half of his jokes, or the author will be rather disappointed. But most importantly, hopefully you ll feel you didn t waste your money on this book and will tell your friends how wonderful it is.

Get one for yourself, one for your friends, give it as a gift...spread the fun and joy of travelling!

This book reads like a junior high school student's "What I Did On My Summer Vacation" essay. About every third paragraph starts with "Anyway...". In fact, in Chapter 21, three paragraphs in a row start that way. It's full of redundancies, misused words, poor punctuation and typos. The author invites you to blame these inadequacies on the editor, and refers to the reader "who actually spent money on this book without knowing the mess they're getting into by reading it." I thought this was self-deprecating humor, but it should serve as an actual warning. As should the picture on the front cover. I learned almost nothing about the couple's relationship, and very little about the places they visited, other that what they ate at each restaurant, and how long it took them to drive to the airport. (That's a slight exaggeration, but not by much). This book was very disappointing.

This book was quite possibly one of the funniest things I have read in a long time! The author, Dominick Miserandino, is a very wise newlywed--it's much easier to be married while traveling to different places instead of hearing the wife nagging to take out the trash! They did travel to many different places, almost as an extension of the Honeymoon this first year. It also offered a good perspective on travel stories, which at times can be bland and boring. I can't wait to see the next installment--maybe How to Raise Kids While on the Road????

I bought 3 copies of this book for friend's of mine getting married. Beyond they travel story aspect, it tells about marriage and relationships from the perspective of the guy.
