What They're Saying About "Prepare for Departure":
• Robert Adams at Passport has called the book the "trip of a lifetime."
• Ken Shapiro at TravelAge West calls it "achingly beautiful, weirdly hilarious and always brutally honest."
• Lisa Takeuchi Cullen, vice president of the Writers Guild of America, East, says that "like David Sedaris, Mark Chesnut weaves dark humor (as well as a healthy dose of 1970s nostalgia) into his clever prose."
• Arnie Weissmann of Travel Weekly says that "Mark was born with a traveler's eye, one that sees below the surface, and a writer's voice, to share what he sees in ways that enlighten others."
• Award-winning film director Ann LeSchander says that ""Prepare for Departure' is filled with trials, triumphs and laughter. It's a trip you won't want to miss."
