Most Helpful Customer Reviews   16 of 19 people found the following review helpful: Poorly written, uninformative!, 8 Nov 2003 By  Chris (Essex, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews 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.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

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.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

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  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?
