Meep: We keep a copy in our vacation rental home (near a National Park) and get so many comments on it. It's a hit!

C. Miller: This is book is simultaneously hilarious and heart-breaking. People are so ignorant that they can't see the beauty and value in the natural world and in our history...which, fortunately, gives us something to laugh about, though rather uncomfortably...especially for me (an employee of the NPS). Got this book for my NPS-loving cousins for Christmas this year. I know they're going to love it and laugh at all the ridiculousness of some people.

Lauren: Sorry for the lack of picture, I usually get one but didn't. I got this, after I checked it out from the library system and reading some, as a gift for a coworker who is leaving next month. I was so excited to give it to her that I ended up giving it to her after opening the box in my car. Perfect condition and a wonderful read :)

Mary M.: I worried that I'd miss photographs in a book about national parks. Nope! Not at all! The illustrations in this book are actually much better than photos. The pictures take me to the park and then let my imagination roam around and see things in my mind's eye. The words go well with the pictures and the quirky bit of humor, that drew me to this book and encouraged my purchase of it, stays on the right side of gentle teasing versus mean making fun of people. I'm glad I bought this book and am enjoying perusing it and planning trips to the parks!

J.: Tempting to put a 1 star for the joke of it but this book is actually amazing. The amount of work that Amber Share put into it is clear from every amazing national park image that she created, in all the research she has done for the writing, the many hilarious puns, but also all the backgrounds and page layouts throughout the whole book. The quality of the paper and cover was obviously chosen to support the amazing art.
Note that it’s not just a few funny subpar parks reviews, it’s actually super informative about US national parks including history, the land, animals etc. If you follow Amber on social media (you should!) you’ll know she has a huge love and respect for the parks, and that this has been a passion project not just a few jokes for a quick buck.
Bravo, can’t wait for the next one!

Weltenbummler: Eine originelle Idee, gepaart mit tollen Grafiken. Ich schaue immer wieder rein und lache mich kaputt. Toll wäre es, wenn es die einzelnen Motive auch als hochwertige Poster geben würde.

Lynn G: I'm so happy I bought this book! The juxtaposition between the snarky comments and the beautiful graphics and descriptions of the parks is priceless! How wonderful that the author was able to take her passion for graphic design and apply it to these gorgeous places using the low ratings of the parks as a funny catalyst. I highly recommend this book!
