In each chapter, you will find places where you can enjoy a romantic stay, hold a wedding, or spend an evening dining with someone you love.

Must-Have for Planning a Romantic Trip.......2005-08-09

I really appreciated having this book along on my recent trip to Umbria & Lazio. One can get the typical "must-see" destinations from any travel book; Ms. Podesta's emphasizes the finer experiences to be had by deviating from well-travelled paths.
If you are a foodie, or looking for singular dining & lodging experiences, this is the book for you.

Not your usual Italy trip!.......2005-07-17

This book is a wonderful addition to your Italy travel library. It is not your usual list of high spots to see in well-known tourist locales. It has a wealth of unique and truly lovely places to visit with a special person or on your own. We just returned from a trip to Umbria, and found the book invaluable in locating outings, activities, eating, vistas, and wine-tasting that we may not have found otherwise. In addition, the villa where we stayed was found through resources in the book and it was exquisite! We felt that because of the book and the activities and places discussed, we enjoyed our trip at a deeper level and got a true sense of Italian sensibility and what Italians appreciate about their terrain, sunsets, and foods. Bravo, Ms Podesta!

Book Description

What had seemed to Grand Tourists a museum of idealized antiquity and Renaissance art became--in the eyes of Byron, Keats, Shelley and a host of other visitors--a nation struggling to assert itself but not quite able to do so. Italia Romantica is a vivid history of the English Romantics’ love affair with Italy and of the changing attitudes in pre-unification Italy. Roderick Cavaliero’s compelling story is full of bandits, unreformed Catholicism, poets, and improvvisatori, shot through with vignettes of timeless urban and pastoral life, remarkable characters, and anecdotes.

Honeymoon Helper.......2001-03-27

My husband and I used Karen Brown's "Italy: Inn and Initeraries 2000" to plan our honeymooon in Italy: Venice, Florence, Chianti, Capri, Rome and Positano and I'm so glad that we did. The descriptions were accurate and she has very good taste in hotels. There were no surprises, we got exactly what we anticipated and in some cities more. In Rome, the Hotel Barocco staff was particularly nice and upgraded us to a room with a balcony at no extra charge. At Le Sinenuse in Positano, the staff was also very nice and the hotel is unforgettable.

I'd recommend this and the series to anyone. I'm using the Italy book again for this summer's vacation.

This is useful for listings and phone numbers........1999-08-09

On our recent journey to Tuscany and Umbria, we resorted to the book for two places to stay. One was a castle, a marvelous place, but without signage. Either the actual location, as described in the book, was right and the 1,200-year-old castle had been moved in the night, or, more likely, the book was badly off, by miles. The second described, in gushing terms, a family-run former farmhouse near Rada, where we and another couple from Philadelphia independently reached the same conclusion -- that they were indifferent, at best, and wished we wouldn't bother them. Our hosts kept the downstairs hideaway, a library and sitting room, off limits to all guests, even though it was delightful (as written in the book) and ready to use. We wonder if the hosts treated the reviewer wonderfully, but our experience had little resemblance to that -- nor that did of the two other Americans we'd never met before, and with whom we compared notes afterwards.

The only resource I really needed!.......1999-07-26

Fantastic! I think Karen saved me hundreds of hours of research time and hair pulling. All the contact information, stunning write-ups, all true to their word just made everything so easy from booking the room to getting our documents in order. The itineraries made our trip unique and special. I can't wait to start on next years trip with Karen Brown's Guide to Switzerland!

Would not travel without it!.......1999-04-10

This book made my trip to Italy as romantic as I had hoped it would be. - Of course being with the man of my dreams helped. We stayed at two different locations recommended and they were just as charming as described. I do think that the service was even better than we expected but it was "off-season". I will look for a Karen Brown book for my next trip. Hurry Karen and make a trip to Egypt.

Outstanding! The Italian inns were charming and delightful!.......1999-03-12

I traveled to Ravello, Florence, Rome, Venice, and Cinque Terra and stayed in a 'Karen Brown inn' at every leg of the trip. The descriptions were perfect. Any chance of writing a similar book for the Greek Isles?

Personal-finance author and lecturer Robert Kiyosaki developed his unique economic perspective through exposure to a pair of disparate influences: his own highly educated but fiscally unstable father, and the multimillionaire eighth-grade dropout father of his closest friend. The lifelong monetary problems experienced by his "poor dad" (whose weekly paychecks, while respectable, were never quite sufficient to meet family needs) pounded home the counterpoint communicated by his "rich dad" (that "the poor and the middle class work for money," but "the rich have money work for them"). Taking that message to heart, Kiyosaki was able to retire at 47. Rich Dad, Poor Dad, written with consultant and CPA Sharon L. Lechter, lays out his the philosophy behind his relationship with money. Although Kiyosaki can take a frustratingly long time to make his points, his book nonetheless compellingly advocates for the type of "financial literacy" that's never taught in schools. Based on the principle that income-generating assets always provide healthier bottom-line results than even the best of traditional jobs, it explains how those assets might be acquired so that the jobs can eventually be shed. --Howard Rothman

Download Description

A #1 New York Times bestseller, 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' is a true story on the lessons about money that Robert Kiyosaki learned from his two "dads." One dad, a Ph.D. and superintendent of education, never had enough money at the end of the month and died broke. His other dad dropped out of school at age 13 and went on to become one of the wealthiest men in Hawaii. 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad' will . . .· Explode the myth that you need to earn a high income to become rich · Challenge the belief that your house is an asset · Show parents why they can't rely on the school system to teach their kids about money
· Define once and for all an asset and a liability · Teach you what to teach your kids about money for their future financial success. In 'Rich Dad, Poor Dad', Robert Kiyosaki explains how to make your money work hard for you instead of you working hard for money.

Very helpful information !.......2007-10-21

This is a book I didn't like at first, and later on found it to be very valuable and useful. It truthfully tells you where you need to spend your time if you really want to become rich. To use these methods presented in the book, you will have to work really hard, take risks, study, plan, and take the subject matter presented seriously.

Disappointing.......2007-10-20

I bought this book out of curiosity, to see for myself what the hype is all about.
I have to admit that the first part really drew my attention. Co-writer Sharon Lechter did a good job placing the story in the setting of two kids growing up. It makes the simple content digestible.
But then out of the blue Mr. Kiyosaki takes the word and it feels like the editor didn't have the time to finish her job. It is embarrassing to see K. showing off and telling us how he made his fortune being a real estate speculant.

Regards,
Norbert

An Interesting Perspective.......2007-10-20

While it is difficult to imagine what new commentary one could add to the thousands of reviews of this fine book, I thought it would be beneficial to point out a significant characteristic that seems rarely touched by others. Namely, the testimony-like nature of the message.

While there are many business and investment books on the market worth the time to read, few are as adept as Robert Kiyosaki (and his actual writer, Sharon Lechter) at contextualizing his instruction. By giving the reader a "this is what happened to me, and this is what I learned from the experience" message, the author is essentially giving his own personal narrative of his life's journey into his present understanding of business and investments. By so doing, he offers the reader insight into the WAY a person of his economic stature thinks...and more importantly, WHY.

The autobiographical nature of the text adds tremendous flavor to the message this best-selling book conveys. In my opinion, Rich Dad, Poor Dad is a remarkable book that anyone interested in business and/or investments should consider a "must read" in their studies.

Moreover, to truly garner the key nuggets of the author's revelation, one should also immediately read the sequel, Cashflow Quadrant: Rich Dad's Guide to Financial Freedom. Nearly twice as thick, this second text is truly the finishing touch on the original work.

In conclusion, the few negative reviews I have read of Rich Dad, Poor Dad seemed to be written by those who expected something different than what was intended by the author. By logical extension, it appears obvious that they failed to read the sequel so that they could truly conceptualize the appeal of the author's message...an appeal that has made this not only a best-seller, but a true legend in the business non-fiction genre.

Inspirational stories - but repetitive information.......2007-10-19

Robert Kiyosaki has shared a lot of his personal experiences of making money. I enjoyed reading the first few chapters. The rest, pretty much carried the same information. This book motivates you to become rich. The author recommends to develop and use your ingenuity to create wealth.

I couldn't still understand why "buying a house" couldn't be considered as a way of asset creation. Most of the author's examples are about real estates & investing in stocks.

If you want to get inspired about making money, this is the book to read.

Okay, but not the answer........2007-10-15

This was not a very good self-help type of program. Usable advice, enthusiasm, and some worthy points make it average, but it hardly reflects the title. Sorry guys, I'd pass on this one. Read Cyber-Psychonetics instead.

Helped to clarify how I think about money.......2007-01-16

I read this a few years ago because someone I was visiting had it in their apartment. At one point Kiyosaki says that rich buy assets and the poor buy liabilites. Basically an asset pays you without you doing anything - for example interest from the bank. Likewise a liability takes money without you doing anything. (Although he does point out that in the case of a house and a car both require continuous money for up keep but may be needed for other reasons.) For me assessing whether I was aquiring assets or liabilities was a breakthrough in how to look at things. I'm not rich and unlikely to be so (which I'll get to next paragraph), but it has very much helped me to clarify how I think about spending.

Kiyosaki also gives advice about specific types of investment strategies. Many of them take more daring than I have (and that's why I will never be rich although with longer term planning I will likely do OK). However all are based on the same strategy of aquireing assets. Which goes into why reading the book might be good even though I just gave the big secret away. For example in speculating in real estate Kiyosaki is especially clear on an asset being something that you don't have to continually manage. In this case have someone else who is unclogging toilets for your tenants. Treat this employee well and tip your broker and generally pay attention to and be generous with people who are part of your assets.

Basically this is a good book to clarify your strategies involving money. Even if you are cautious like me it is helpful in terms of helping you clarify how you think about money. I don't think it can make you "get rich quick" but it is still very good to have read it. (4 stars not 5 because the specific investment strategies aren't for my personality)
