2.0 out of 5 stars OK but there is better out there, 18 Sep 2007
By P. MARSTON (Norfolk, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Vietnam (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)
If you buy this then you will get a lot of information from it and you will survive. However, I used it for a month and decided to ditch it for "The Rough Guide" after borrowing it from a fellow backpacker and comparing it to my LP. The Rough Guide's writing was much better/wittier, tips were more helpful and the recommendations more accurate. Having used only LP guides for years I have been converted to The Rough Guides for now.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Emperor's New Clothes, 3 Oct 2007
By J. Allen (Saigon, Viet Nam) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Vietnam (Lonely Planet Country Guide) (Paperback)
What is it about Lonely Planet? Like a rash, their guides are everywhere - sometimes in the most unwelcome of places. Nicely packaged and handy they may be, but they are often woefully inaccurate and incomplete. This is no exception. Cutting and pasting a few paragraphs about history and culture, this really skims the surface of a fascinating country, and leaves many fascinating places out. If you're a twentysomething Australian back-packer, then this book will probably make you very happy; if you're more discerning, and looking to explore the country's lesser known areas and learn more about its culture (and if you're interested in accuracy), then I would go for the infinitely better Rough Guide.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3 weeks in Vietnam, 29 Sep 2006
By Ms. V. R. Smith (Leeds, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book was like a bible, very up to date and informative, although don't take everything as seriously as it suggests or you wouldn't leave your hotel - there are a few shock tatics but other than that it had 90% of the information that was required of it and proved the best purchase of the holiday.
