Summary: OK but excessively earnest
Comment: I am reading books to my 89-year-old mother. We enjoyed "The Unsavvy Traveler," subtitled women's COMIC tales of adventure. But despite the promising title, the "Hot Flashes" stories generally aren't funny. Many authors seems to be struggling to find something profound to say. All in all, a disappointing read.

Women's Travel Tales and Adventures Helen Thayer went to the North Pole on skis, accompanied only by her dog Charlie. Alexandra David-Neel was the first European woman to enter the forbidden Tibetan city of Lhasa. At the time of their treks, they were both over 50. Their stories, and 25 others, offer vivid proof that one's sense of adventure need not be hindered by age.
