TIPS FOR THE SAVVY TRAVELER

Written as a collection of short travel tips arranged into chapters by topic, this audiobook is directed mostly at overseas travelers. Burns describes every imaginable way to travel, from walking to cargo ship, and provides excellent travel ideas. Toren reads like the savvy professional that she is. Her cheerful and clear voice sounds slightly mechanical, not unlike a recording. Beginning with fast jazzy music, each chapter has a musical introduction specific to a region or country. Short snippets of Scots, reggae, snake-charming, luau, salsa and safari music give the production a festive tone. A.G.H. © AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: OCT/NOV 99]
