Review: Inspirational - A visually stunning book, with great ideas about where to plan your next road trip. National Geographic have spared no expense in the production of this book, it is large and printed on high quality paper with excellent colours in the photos. The text is nicely printed and easy to read and the selection of trips is diverse and appealing to drivers of all types. Having driven 30 of the trips within the book, I am now able to use it to show people what some of those places looked like and convince friends to take similar trips. I also felt compelled to alter my upcoming New England itinerary to take in some of these drives. I found the structure of the book a little challenging to start with. It is broken down by types of drives rather than geographical region. You will find mountain drives in Switzerland alongside mountain drives in Cuba, whilst sea-view drives in Italy will be alongside similar journies in Alaska. Once you are used to that, it then becomes a great read because you can compare similar drives in different parts of the world - rather than skipping over countries you have not considered before. The bias of the book is undoubtedly towards USA and Western Europe, which wasn't a problem for me but could be for others.
Review: I feel a road trip coming on ! - Whilst essentially another addition to the "Spectacular Places to see in your Lifetime" book genre, what sets this apart from the rest of the pack are its National Geographic credentials. You know with NG you are getting first hand research and excellent photographs which have not just been lifted from the internet. Rather than simply showing you how wonderful these places are, the authors have woven them into road trips which, for the most part, can be travelled in a few hours or so. These range from a tour of Snowdonia (easy), to a trip from Cairo to Cape Town (don't do it - or at least read Paul Theroux's Dark Star Safari first to see how dangerous it is!) Overall there is just the right balance between armchair reading and dreaming, and practical advice for trips you might actually do. There are thumbnail maps for each journey and, helpfully, website addresses to take you further. The writing is crisp and surprisingly detailed given that 500 global trips are covered -no gushing, travel brochure prose here. A wonderful book which should inspire you to visit some of the most mouth-watering places on our planet.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice photos, and always good to get ideas
*by A***R on 29 November 2015*

Nice photos, and always good to get ideas. Probably not for the type of 'enthusiast' driver who likes to rag it round the EVO triangle - you'll find the more spirited drives around UK and Europe from spending your time on car forums. But if you just want a coffee table book, or are retired and can spend your time driving 500 pretty routes near interesting scenery or landmarks, sure.
