Book description
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.
About the Author
Amber Share is an illustrator, graphic designer, and author currently based in Raleigh, North Carolina (she has lived in nine different states and two other countries, though, so don't count on her staying there forever). She's an avid lover of travel and the outdoors, and when she's not hiking, planning her next trip, or combing through one-star reviews of nature, she's probably at home with her husband and her cuddly cat, Suki. She is the author and illustrator of the New York Times bestselling book, Subpar Parks.
