New York Times bestselling author and illustrator of Subpar Parks Amber Share takes us around the globe to celebrate the world’s greatest wonders alongside hysterical reviews from their harshest critics.

The world is filled with marvels—both natural and human-made— and artist Amber Share has made it her mission to capture the unique majesty of these sites alongside reactions from some of their most vocal visitors. The Dead Sea? “Who needs burning eyes?” Who indeed? Big Ben? “Just a really big clock.” Go figure.
 
With Share's classic spin on visitors’ candidly cranky reviews of each location, Subpar Planet fills skeptical travelers with a wanderlust for the world's most spectacular features, including the Eiffel Tower, the Taj Mahal, the Great Barrier Reef, Chichén Itzá, the Sahara, and many more!

Equal parts hilarious and informative, Subpar Planet is perfect for seasoned globe-trotters, people interested in broadening their worldly horizons, and anyone who simply wants to see the unique ways their fellow human beings interact with the world around them.
Amber Share is an illustrator, graphic designer, and author. She's an avid lover of travel and the outdoors, and when she's not hiking, planning her next trip, or combing through one-star reviews of nature, she's probably at home with her husband and her cat, Suki. She is the author and illustrator of the New York Times bestselling book, Subpar Parks. View titles by Amber Share
