Book Reviews of Around the Globe
Book Review: Buyer beware
Summary: 1 Stars
This book is exceptionally beautiful inside, but the title is a lie. Such deceit deserves every ounce of disapproval--at least in the opinion of anyone concerned about truth in labeling. If you buy this book because you particularly like the mix of people found "around the globe," you will be sorely disappointed. I have leafed through the book three times and have not spotted even a single person of color--no Asian, no Indian, no Middle Eastern, no African, no obviously Caribbean or other islander--nothing that wouldn't pass for American or Western European. Lots of blonds and light hair.
Let me be clear. I want this review to be "helpful" whether you take the news as good or bad, so I'm simply relating a fact: although the pictures are superbly beautiful, they are not of people from "around the globe" as the title suggests. It is my opinion that false advertising (even if the product is good) deserves the consumer's scorn--hence the reason for my single star.
