This is a good book, especially for someone visiting Boston for the 1st time.
Very good guide book, especially for those with kids

This is a very good guide book in its comprehensiveness, ease of use, helpful "star" rating system and special effort to make note of good family activities/locations. If you have kids, this is a great choice! However, because this book is written by one author, I don't find it equally strong in every category. But overall, it's very good and I recommend it!
