Review of Will This Place Ever Feel Like Home?, New and Updated Edition: Simple Advice for Settling In After You Move (Paperback)

I bought this book based upon Amazon reader reviews. There was little advice that was other than common sense, and much that was silly at best (for example bring water from your old home). The major points could be summed up: have an open mind, be flexible, bring old things so you are comfortable, and find ways to join and meet new people. There you have it. Save your money.

Product Description
If you are moving or contemplating a move, Will This Place Ever Feel Like Home? offers a wealth of insights and practical resources on everything from navigating the new terrain and finding essential services to helping your children and pets adjust, meeting neighbors, making new friends, and much more. A unique and helpful how-to guide--based on more than 100 personal interviews and the author's own relocation experience--this updated edition also features detailed information on relocation services and Internet resources.
