Picturesque mountain villages spring fourth from the pages of your favorite travel magazine. What's lacking from the scenic views and endless Piña coladas? Objective truth. Chuck Thompson does a great job explaining why travel writers don't give their honest opinions of a place, because they won't get paid for the unabashed truth. Trashing a dirty hotel with a 5-star facade doesn't help the business of travel. There is no justice or loyalty to the excited traveler booking blind on Expedia. I loved this book and its cry for a reboot of the travel industry.
