Awesome!
This book is so helpful and great!!!!!! I love it ! It has helped me so much with my journey to Italy! It really feel like you are having a conversation with an experienced traveler thats young in their twenties or thirties!!! Great book

Surprisingly good information
This book was recommended by a friend. It has very good reviews and recommendations. Since it is a few years old, the prices are a little out of date, but I just added a couple of Euro to whatever they listed and it was pretty accurate. Two of the places I tried to find had closed, so I would recommend calling before you go. Overall though, this was a great book to use while I was in Italy. It was my first time to Italy and this was the book I took with me. The hotel recommendations were spot on. I stayed in an especially nice place in Sorrento they suggested, Hotel Savoia. Really great inn, with fantastic staff. I would probably look for an updated book if I go back to Italy, or at least use it as a base for recommendations. Very helpful!

excited and astounded
i like the other reviewers thought the fact that mtv could help me have a good time was curious. i bought three other travel guides to italy including let's go, lonely planet, and frommers.the mtv guide is the one i literally carried with me through the country. such large easy to read maps.for partying in rome and florence i just ripped them out and circled which numbers were the ones i wanted to hit up.wanna know the best place to play beer pong in florence? yeah that'd be the red garter. all the food info was such the major scoop.obviously pizza is everywhere but discovered the best slices in town in rome with this guide.i also liked that they would say what to skip an is overrated, good times to go, and random trivia on the side linears.and i thought it'd be really heavy on techno clubs and just partying in general but there was more detail in the history of ancient rome in this book than all other three books combines.including the greatest walking tour of the roman forum ever, which was basically step to your right this pile of stone you're looking at was once the vestal virgins house. i do throw out the precationary that i bought the mtv spain book and was dissapointed but for italy this was the best guide there could be.

Invaluable(especially for students or solo travelers)
I picked this book up thinking I would laugh at the ridiculous petty advice and "MTV Book" would give. WRONG. So very very wrong. Just flipping through it initially, I knew it would serve me well for my 2 months in Italy. This guidebook isn't your typical, stuffy "tourist book" (geared at senior travelers usually)....it is divided into regions and cities, and offers the usual info re: main sites, train info, general cost etc.....as well as ESSENTIAL bits for students or those trvaeling solo. Internet points (accurate, although some hours of operation were off, but it happens), laundromats, places to rent cell phones, cheap food, snack food, best places to party [if you prefer to party with your fellow Americans,,,,or, like me, if you want to avoid them!] general club rules, clothing style (up to date) etc....I also enjoyed that each section contained its own "occhio!"....which essentially is a word of warning about their own negative points/seedy sections. Each region of Italy is very different from another, and this book illustrates this VERY WELL. I would say this is a MUST WN for anyone who will be spending more than a week or 2 in Italy.

If you are under 30 and going to Italy,buy this book!
Well I should start with I haven`t used the book in Italy yet so I can`t be sure about the acuracy of the information, but I have been to Italy before so I know what to look for in a good Italy guide.

It lists a lot of the useful info like where to meet people and what clubs to go to depending on what you are looking for. I plan on visiting Museums and Churchs while in Italy but I don`t need a guide book to tell me which ones to go to. I use a book to tell me good places to eat, sleep and party and this one seems to cover the bases.

Overall worth getting ... Read more

Product Description
That Archer Girl. Seventeen, slim, blonde, bright, and beautiful - that's the Archer girl. She has aquamarine eyes fringed with thick, dark lashes; she wears expensive clothes from the "smartest" shops; she drives her own Thunderbird convertible; she's the only child of Lakeside's wealthy, most important family. Anne Archer has everything that a girl could possibly want, except true friendship and true love. During her senior year at Auburn Academy, a private girls school in an exclusive Chicago suburb, Anne contemplates her problems. The question is, will she ever realize that many of them are of her own making? A girl can have stunning, alluring beauty and every material object imaginable, but without the unconditional love of sincere parents and friends, it is difficult to feel genuinely secure. Though Anne Archer may be the source of her own problems, the reader may see the root of her difficulties is in her own home. Even best friend Christie Cochran and good looking Ron Harper are not safe from Anne's manipulations to prove herself to the world. And manipulating can be an explosive maneuver. A girl might think that she would want to trade places with That Archer Girl, but there is no substitution for loving, supportive family and friends. Reading about Anne Archer reminds the reader of the truly important things in life. ... Read more

Money doesn't breed character
Unlike the other review, I think this is Anne Emery's best book.
She was my favorite author as a teenager growing up in the 60s. The rest of her books were right out of "The Brady Bunch"...hardly realistic.But "That Archer Girl" is different, and even though Anne is rich and beautiful, it teaches us that maybe those kind of assets are not enough...one must have character, which Anne lacks.And I loved that fact that Anne got her comeuppance in the end, which she richly deserves.

A failed YA "Gone with the Wind"
"That Archer Girl" is a somewhat unsuccessful version of "Gone with the Wind" (although on not such a life-and-death, Civil War scale!) in that it portrays an extremely self-centered, attractive young woman who is so intent on manipulating every man around her that she risks losing the one she could actually care for.

Published in 1959, this book chronicles a few weeks in the life of Anne Archer, bored high school senior in a socially prominant Chicago family who doesn't know what she'll do after her "debut" at the end of her senior year. She is infuriated by any man who doesn't pay her the level of attention she believes she is owed.

The main reason for giving this book such a low rating (I would probably rate it 2 1/2 if halves were allowed) is that Anne just doesn't seem to learn or grow. She's impossible to like, unlike Scarlett O'Hara who at least had real situations to overcome that required some pluck.

Most of Anne Emery's other books are delightful (the Burnaby family, Dinny Gordon, etc.). Anne Archer is unfortunately not one of her endearing heroines. ... Read more
