|author= Thomas H Cook
|title= Tragic Shores: A Memoir Of Dark Travel
|rating= 4
|genre=Travel
|summary= Thomas H Cook, an American author valued for the quality of writing and compelling intrigues of his numerous thrillers, has written a collection of nearly thirty accounts of visits to the ''tragic shores'' of the title. There is no noticeable rhyme or reason to the order of presentation, apart from the last, and the most personal tale which links the travel report to the author's personal loss of his wife and long-time travel companion, who features in many of the chapters, as does the couple's daughter, but they all the pertain to Cook's visits to what he describes as ''the saddest places on Earth''.

|summary= If someone tells you they're going to write a book, and it will be based on someone else's book, and it's based on a trip they'll do, which that other person also did, you might be left confused about ''why'' exactly they would want to do that. Surely more fun to do your own thing, rather than re-trace the steps of someone who's been there, done that? ''In America Travels with John Steinbeck'' is this book, based on John Steinbeck's earlier adventure but taking place 50 years later.
