great,
This review is from: The Big Trip: General Reference (Lonely Planet General Reference) (Paperback)
great book. was under the impression that it was actually a full trip when buying this, but it isnt, but it is book priced. it is very interesting, lots of pages all filled with words to read. would recommend for someone thinking of buying a book to read before planning a holiday. a full holiday is not included though but they do include itinery pages

Clearly targeted to a very specific audience,
By Gabriel TML - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Big Trip: General Reference (Lonely Planet General Reference) (Paperback)
This is not what I was looking for. This is a book for young Americans, Brits, Canadians, Aussies and Kiwis planning to do a Gap Year. It is targeted to young people who do not have much experience traveling independently. Much of the information is useful to the nationalities above, but not to people from other countries. If you have already traveled internationally on your own then I don't think the book will be of much use. I am planning a round-the-world trip and I thought the book will focus more on specific topics related to long-term travel (getting visas as you travel, detailed country-by-country travel costs, safety, health and risks specific to certain regions, etc.). Lonely Planet have done a good job here but I have found little information in this book that I hadn't found either on Lonely Planet's Thorn Tree forum or in travel websites such as Wikitravel.So, buy this book if you are 18-19 and about to take a Gap Year or about to travel internationally on your own for the first time (and if you come from the UK or its offshoots). Otherwise perhaps you should look elsewhere. Much of the book is devoted to really basic travel information that's readily available elsewhere. In contrast, there is not much in the way of travel advice for long-term travelers are scarce. I love Lonely Planet and am an avid consumer of their products, but this is by far the least useful LP book that I've bought. But some of the people who commented on this review have found this book very useful so it depends on your demographics. |
