Format:Paperback
Before my recent expedition to Sri Lanka, I bought a few travel guides, including this one. I found it to be less informative and less nicely written than others [particularly the Footprint guide to Sri Lanka]. In my personal opinion, this book really should not be bothered with. A disappointment.

Format:Paperback
Lonely Planet guidebook includes the usual recommendations for restaurants, places to stay and how to get to the things to see. This guidebook however has a lot of personal opinions in it with the authours own opinions on a lot of topics, rather than a more objective view mixed with some recommendations.
This guidebook is unfortunately less informative and less nicely written than other lonely Planet guidebooks.

Format:Paperback
Usual informative guide to Sri Lanka. Helped us thoroughly enjoy our 10 days backpacking round Sri Lanka - if we hadn't had the book there would have been a pile of things we would have missed like watching the sun come up on New Years Day over Adams Peak
