Totally bias and unrealistic... November 16, 2007

This woman must be a scared housewife. I was very offended with several of her descriptions of the average areas of Houston. Her research is scetchy and based off of rumors. I doubt she has ever visited many of the neighborhoods she calls "lackluster". Houston has lots to offer, just not in River Oaks. She leaves out several middle class neighborhoods alltogether while bashing ones with prices under 200k. Unless you are a millionare buying in super affluent areas of Houston, do not buy this book; it has no useful information for the average middle class buyer.

I was willing to spring the big bucks for this book thinking it would give me all of the useful information I needed. But, that isn't the case. Having just relocated here I now know what would have been useful and is lacking in this book. For instance, what do you need to get your car registered and your drivers license. Had I known I needed a Social Security card to get my license it would have saved me a trip to Conroe. It talks about Homestead Exemptions and should tell you how to go about getting one. A lot of the information is simplistic. For the price of this book themes should be developed and it should be packed with useful information.

Ridiculous price! April 9, 2005

50.00 for a paperback book only a few years old, which is mostly a collection of easily accessible infromation? Outrageous.

I am moving to Houston in January and I have been eyeing this book for a couple of months. The price for this used book is outrageous. That is why none of them have sold. if the book's price was a little more reasonable I would buy it.
