Description

"A fascinating and hilarious look at some of the least appealing places and events on the planet." -- Salon

From the Grover Cleveland Service Area to the Beijing Museum of Tap Water to, of course, Euro Disney, 101 Places Not to See Before You Die brings you lively tales of the most ill-conceived museums, worst theme parks, and grossest Superfund sites that you'll ever have the pleasure of not visiting. Journalist Catherine Price travels the globe for stories of misadventure to which any seasoned traveler can relate -- including guest entries from writers such as Nicholas Kristof, Mary Roach, Michael Pollan, Rebecca Solnit, and A. J. Jacobs.

This irreverent, compulsively readable book highlights destinations we can all live without -- like Jupiter's Worst Moon, an Outdoor Wedding During the 2021 Reemergence of the Great Eastern Cicada Brood, and fan hours at the Las Vegas Porn Convention -- while reminding us why we're willing to put up with the bedbugs and the food poisoning and set out to explore the world.

The Testicle Festival - Garbage City - Rush Hour on a Samoan Bus - Your Boss's Bedroom - Ibiza on a Family Vacation - Stonehenge - The Road of Death - A North Korean Gulag - and 93 more!

"This clever collection of travel advisories lists all the places that are definitely not worth a trip." -- Entertainment Weekly

"Weird and funny." -- The Washington Post

"Price's delightful work is utterly hilarious." -- Arthur Frommer
