1. I was taken by the positive outlook of the book, the authoree's insight - full of subtle charm and wisdom. It is like a glass of cool good mineral water on a hot day. I am happy to know enough Polish language and to enjoy it. It will be very good if the book appears in English. It shows Polish life in 1960-1980, immigrants stories, and wonderful impressions from Canada and the United States. I learned much about America from a book written by an immigrant.



2. The book is written as a part autobiography and part diary. The autobiography is a literary form, which unlike other forms, shows the "ego" ot the author. Aleksandra Ziolkowska-Boehm "ego" is delicate and fascinating! Many interesting details about life in America are shown with tact and good understanding. The book is written with talent and keeps its focus. It is diffficult to stop reading; day after day it captures the imagination. Some fragments are almost like from a movie - dialog, description and people are very realistic.



3. Pisanie o sobie zawsze jest trudne, bo moze odslonic potwora, snoba, pustke i glupote. Ta ksiazka pokazuje osobe madra, myslaca,ciekawa swiata i ludzi, zyczliwa innym, kochajaca matke. Lubi innych ludzi, lubi zwierzeta. Wiele ciekawego o Polsce, jej srodowisku ludzi piora i nie tylko, o Stanach Zjednoczonych, ktore sa dosc trudne do jednoznacznej oceny. Za ten brak jednoznacznych, gotowych ocen i odpowiedzi - ogromnie cenie jej autorke.

5. Ksiazka trzyma w napieciu i wraca sie do niej jak do dobrego piwa! Uczy spojrzenia na wlasne zycie z dystansem, madroscia, cieplem. W depresyjnych czasach, jakie mamy wokol siebie, uczy jakby akceptacji ludzi i swiata, dostrzegania dobra. Ksiazka wprowadza w dobry nastroj i dobre nastawienie do siebie i innych. Moze byc terapia w zlych momentach, trudnych czy kryzysowych. Niewiele jest takich ksiazek, ktore uspokajaja, a ta przemowila do mnie swoim pieknem jezyka i spojrzenia na swiat. Za jej najwieksza zalete uwazam wlasnie pozytywne wrazenia, ktore wywyoluje.

1. I wrote this book, so I think it is terrific.



2. Hey Paul great book. Will you be writing a book as a follow up to your story in Readers Digest about the lost tribes. Pretty interesting stuff. If not, do you know of any books written on this subject. Also can you post your e-mail address I wish to inquire about purchasing a copy of the Photograph that was displayed on pages 110 & 111. I would like it large enough so that I may frame it. Best Regards C.A. Esposito

1. Ostensibly, a book entitled "Quick Escapes Dallas/Ft. Worth" would emphasize the "quick"--that is, follow a general theme of time, suggest short-but-satisfying trips, give an approximation of travel time upfront, list trips from closest to farthest away, not require you to read the entire book to figure out which trips are the closest to Dallas etc (after all, you're trying to save time). However, a more appropriate and truthful title for this book would have instead conveyed that one should have good knowledge of Texas geography and roads...because that's how this book is laid out--not exactly friendly for the Texan newcomer! Counter to what I expected, this book does not suggest or organize "quick escapes" based upon the destination's distance from Dallas, but categorizes the different trips based on direction--do you want to go East, West, South, or North? (hmm, I thought I just wanted a "quick escape," I don't really care which direction I go in!) You'd better have a detailed Texas map handy too because otherwise you won't have a clue how much mileage is involved for each trip! And I'm sorry but 7 hours in the car is not my idea of a "quick escape," which is how long some of the suggested trips would take you if you actually compute the mileage. Some other gripes I have is that approximate prices are not included for suggested lodging and that some of the "escapes" cover redundant territory and/or don't give you a sense of how little (or much) there is to do once you are there. I took the trip to Caddo Lake and realized that I could complete the suggested itinerary for TWO other "escapes" (Jefferson and Mineola/Tyler) all in the same weekend--and no, I wasn't racing through towns just to say I had been there either, it was all at a leisurely pace. Leads me to believe that one should be retired, well-off, adept at cross-referencing this with other guidebooks, and not exhibit any ADD tendencies if you are to find this book truly helpful. But if you can ignore these details, and don't mind the misleading title of the book, the content is quite good...and I like how the author has included "pit stops" (cafes, bakeries, local restaurants and dives) into the itinerary. I have actually found "Official Guide to Texas State Parks," a book that I bought at the same time as "Quick Escapes," the more inspiring of the the two. Though it has similar faults (although it neither claims to be about quick escapes nor Dallas, so that isn't even a valid fault) it has gorgeous, compelling photography that give you a real sense of what the place is like. When used in conjunction with the Texas State Parks website, planning a trip is a snap...which is what I had hoped "Quick Escapes" would be.
