Poor sided information
22 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback
This books gives the idea that Nicaragua is a dangerous place as the "rest of Central America", despite the fact that this country is among the 30 safest in the world.
It says be careful when you get down the bus, in an area which only happens to be the bus station from busses coming from Costa Rica, that indeed is a dangerous area, but any citi has red areas, well that is one.
But 95% of the tourist coming to Nicaragua come and land in different location, like the airport, and others which are more than safe.
Besides that, the book only shows one hostel in Nicaragua, which happens to be worst in town, there are at least 50 hostels, and B&B worth of mentioning, but seems like this hostel very badly rated in the country is paying advertising.
On the other hand there not many tourist books if you go to Nicaragua, that would be the only reason to buy it, but 60% of the information is inaccurate.

kindle edition really lacking
8 Jan 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
this review is about the kindle edition only and not the content of the book. this did not transfer well into kindle. too often linked text does not bring you to the right place. kindle guidebooks should be great as the hyperlinks allow one to easily jump to different places in a book. however, many of the links will bring you to a seemingly random spot in the book instead of the intended place.
additionally, one of my favorite features of lonely planet guides is the highlights section at the beginning of chapters. this transferred terribly to kindle - rendering the information unreadable. half of the information is lost. even by changing settings (smallest font size, line spacing, etc.) doesn't fully remedy the problem. i don't know why it's so messed up, but you lose great information this way.
the guidebook has good information, but i would recommend people to steer clear of the kindle edition.

Typical Lonely Planet WONDERFUL BOOK
20 Oct 2009
Format:Paperback
Read several other Lonely Plant books like Guatemala and Belize, and this one isas well done. Can always count on them for up to date (for printed materials) and relevant info. Perfect for the traveler who wants to really experience the country, not the typical "tourist" experience. Chapters broken down for quick reference. ALso sturdy construct which is nice when you have it stored in your backpack. I still shove mine in a ziplock since sudden rains are common in the jungle areas.
Nice coverage of the coffee and tobacco plantations (my interest) as well as the 20 hour Spanish instruction you can receive for $150 (includes residing in a local family home, meals and their taking you into places where you can practice your Spanish). Great book.
