2.0 out of 5 stars Lonely Planet Guide to Finland, 29 Jun 2003

By	"borntoairguitar" - See all my reviews

This review is from: Finland (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)

I bought this book a year ago now and found it pretty poor! I've been to finland 10 or more times and feel I know the country and its people a lot more than the author of this book!
His descriptions of Finnish attitudes and temproment are so stereotyped and dated. Fascinating Museums, Buildings and Shops do not seem to feature! I can not comprehend how some one could produce this kind of book, about such a fascinating and unique place! Finland is a dynamic vibrant and varied place and has a lot more to offer than this guide would suggest! Its a real dissapointment, it does however carry some useful logistical info, trains, hotels/ hostels ect. But most of this info can be found on the net or from the many Tourist Infomation Offices in Finland. I do hope he's done some home work for this edition!

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, 8 Jul 2001

By A Customer

I think the book is great, I have lived in Finland for over a year now with my Finnish Hubbie, and we both have discovered new things from the book. My father also enjoyed it and found the history part very interesting, as his knowledge of Finland was limited. Yes some of the info was a bit out of date, some resturants are no longer there for example, but that is always the case.

1.0 out of 5 stars Most disapointing Lonely Planet to date, 19 Mar 2001

By A Customer

Finland is an interesting country that can be a great treat to explore. Unfortunately, to unlock its potential you could do worse than completely ignore this book. Not only does this book have massive omissions of factual information you would expect to find as standard in any half decent guide book, such as traveling times between major cities and other relevent travel information, this book also takes the self indulgent tone of a student rag - without the humour. It has been suggested that Lonely Planet have become too big for the sort of feely guide books that are their trade mark. But one thing is for certain, if the editors are prepared to continue releasing this sort of useless rubbish then they will lose more than just this customer. Shame on Lonely Planet, now trading on a once good name whilst retaining none of the substance on which that name was built and the traveller depends.
