Customer Reviews
The Emperor's New Clothes - Rated What is it about Lonely Planet? Like a rash, their guides are everywhere - sometimes in the most unwelcome of places. Nicely packaged and handy they may be, but they are often woefully inaccurate and incomplete. This is no exception. Cutting and pasting a few paragraphs about history and culture, this really skims the surface of a fascinating country, and leaves many fascinating places out. If you're a twentysomething Australian back-packer, then this book will probably make you very happy; if you're more discerning, and looking to explore the country's lesser known areas and learn more about its culture (and if you're interested in accuracy), then I would go for the infinitely better Rough Guide. OK but there is better out there - Rated If you buy this then you will get a lot of information from it and you will survive. However, I used it for a month and decided to ditch it for "The Rough Guide" after borrowing it from a fellow backpacker and comparing it to my LP. The Rough Guide's writing was much better/wittier, tips were more helpful and the recommendations more accurate. Having used only LP guides for years I have been converted to The Rough Guides for now. Informative (ish) - Rated Well informed and comprehensive. It touches on the many many things that you can do in Vietnam's most visited cities and towns. It's only a guide and usefull though it is it probably could do with being a little more indepth. 3 weeks in Vietnam - Rated This book was like a bible, very up to date and informative, although don't take everything as seriously as it suggests or you wouldn't leave your hotel - there are a few shock tatics but other than that it had 90% of the information that was required of it and proved the best purchase of the holiday. Very useful - Rated I am a fan of the Lonely Planet Guides and this one did not disappoint me. It not soley for the bagpacker, it's handy for anyone who travel, esp. if you do so independently. It would higly recommend it to anyone who needs a guidebook which covers it all, accommodation, travel, background/history/insight tips etc. It makes you prepared and helps move around.
