Subpar Planet: The World's Most Celebrated Landmarks and Their Most Disappointed Visitors
Hardcover
New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of Subpar Parks Amber Share takes us around the globe to celebrate the world’s greatest wonders alongside hysterical reviews from their harshest critics.
In this follow-up to Subpar Parks, which featured one-star reviews of US National Parks, Subpar Planet takes us from continent to continent with spectacular illustrations and detailed, entertaining descriptions of some of the world's most amazing places, though some have enjoyed these natural and manmade wonders more than others. . . . The Dead Sea? “Who needs burning eyes?” Who indeed? Big Ben? “Just a really big clock.” Go figure.
With Share's classic spin on visitors’ candidly cranky reviews of each location, Subpar Planet fills skeptical travelers with a wanderlust for the world's most spectacular features, including the Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal, the Great Barrier Reef, Chichen Itza, the Sahara, and many more!
Equal parts hilarious and informative, Subpar Planet is perfect for seasoned globetrotters, those interested in broadening their worldly horizons, and anyone who simply wants to see the unique ways their fellow human beings interact with the world around them.
