 Cute and insightful! November 10, 2007
Celeste (Knoxville, TN United States)
7 out of 7 found this review helpful
For a little book, this gem is full of interesting information and neat little facts. It is a quick read but very worthwhile. Would recommend it for anyone wishing to travel to Lithuania or anyone with Lithuanian ancestory wanting to learn about their history.
 Superficial Template January 21, 2010
Traveler (Chicago, IL)
Very superficial, lot of the verbiage is akin to the your newspaper horoscope it could apply to anything. Errors about food and culture abound. This is a series of canned programs. I bought it for a friend to answer some questions, and I hoped would be interested enough to visit Lithuania. I not giving it to him as it is worthless.
 arrogant and patronizing June 23, 2009

The author's arrogant and conceited attitude is difficult to stomach. This reads like a teenager's book report on two semesters spent in Lithuania.
