 (32 customer reviews)

I just finished reading Judith Fein's new book, "Life Is A Trip," and I absolutely loved every word of it! With my crazy scheudule, as a mom and businesswoman, I have almost no time to sit down and read for my own pleasure. It was so great to be able to grab this book, whenever I had a free moment, and dive into one of Ms Fein's exotically exciting tales. She's a wonderful storyteller, who opens her heart and soul to every person she meets in her travels.

And her writing is not only inspirational, it's absolutely hilarious! The situations she gets herself into, and the wild things she ends up doing as a result, had me laughing out loud from the first paragraph of her introduction.

Let me begin by saying I don't usually read travel books. But this one is very appealing. First, it is composed of short meaningful travel stories which means you can pick it and put it down without sacrificing your reading pleasure. Each story is unique and and captures the essence of the author's unusual approach to travel. Fein is open to whatever comes her way and seeks out interesting people and experiences. She is unafraid to venture into strange and unknown territory, wherever a story can be found, and to approach individuals who can offer her wisdom, a special window into an unusual culture or some life lesson. The presentation frequently ends with a lesson learned for enhancing her life and the reader's. JM

I simply devoured this book. Judith's stories from her travels are both touching and hilarious. Only she will find herself in situations no one could possibly expect or imagine. Also, she writes like she's talking to you directly. Her storytelling is so personable and funny, you'll feel you know exactly who Judith Fein is by the end of the book if not sooner...and she'll be your best friend. Paul Ross's photos are fantastic!
