Subpar Parks: America's Most Extraordinary National Parks and Their Least Impressed Visitors

Today’s post is on Subpar Parks: America's Most Extraordinary National Parks and Their Least Impressed Visitors by Amber Share. The cover is an  illustration  of a person standing in front of the Grand Canyon. The intended reader is someone who likes humorous informational books. There is some very mild foul language, no sex, and no violence in this book. There Be Spoilers Ahead.

From the back of the book- Based on the wildly popular Instagram account, Subpar Parks features both the greatest hits and brand-new content, all celebrating the incredible beauty and variety of America's national parks juxtaposed with the clueless and hilarious one-star reviews posted by visitors.

Subpar Parks, both on the popular Instagram page and in this humorous, informative, and collectible book, combines two things that seem like they might not work together yet somehow harmonize perfectly: beautiful illustrations and informative, amusing text celebrating each national park paired with the one-star reviews disappointed tourists have left online. Millions of visitors each year enjoy Glacier National Park, but for one visitor, it was simply Too cold for me! Another saw the mind-boggling vistas of Bryce Canyon as Too spiky! Never mind the person who visited the thermal pools at Yellowstone National Park and left thinking, "Save yourself some money, boil some water at home."

Featuring more than 50 percent new material, the book will include more depth and insight into the most popular parks, such as Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon, and Acadia National Parks; anecdotes and tips from rangers; and much more about author Amber Share's personal love and connection to the outdoors. Equal parts humor and love for the national parks and the great outdoors, it's the perfect gift for anyone who loves to spend time outside as well as have a good read (and laugh) once they come indoors.

Review- A very funny and informative book about the national parks of the United States. Share loves the national parks in the USA and when she discovered that people were google rating the different national parks and giving them one stars for being wet or just a big hole, she felt that something must be done. So she decided to read them all and then write a book about the parks and how wonderful they really are. This book is so funny, starting with the best one star review and a beautiful illustration of the park in question by Share herself. Share is an  illustrator and hand letter artist, so she pours her talent into the  illustrations of the parks. This was a very fun book and I do recommend this book. 

I give this book a Five out of Five stars. I get nothing for my review and I borrowed this book from my local library.
