Not much to go on
While this book provided some general information about lifestyle and local culture, it lacked any serious details required by someone looking to retire abroad. In particular the tax information was at best irrelevant and at worst incorrect and misleading. Many of the Additional Resources and Useful Websites are out of date.

Overall this book provides a useful starting point for those considering retirement abroad, but lacks sufficient detail to make it a truly useful resource.

Good for General "Wishing" or to start planning
This guide has general tips and contacts for what are the top overseas retirement destinations for Americans. For each country there are suggested locations and real estate options that would be of use to retirees. Locations that have substantial US/UK populations are also noted, for the not-quite-so adventurous. As stated above, this work is most useful for someone who's maybe thinking about living overseas, and wants to look at the pro's and cons. OR, convincing your "Significant Other" that yes you can actually live at that great vacation spot on Crete....
Anyone who's already deep into planning for such a move, or has spent considerable time overseas would probably already know most of the information provided here.
