5.0 out of 5 stars Much improved, excellent guide; thanks Annalisa Rellie, 8 April 2008

By	traveler 21 "traveler 21" (washington, DC USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Montenegro (Bradt Travel Guide) (Paperback)

Annalisa Rellie writes in a somewhat poetic style. She clearly loves this country and I really enjoyed reading the book. I learnt which places to visit and it has helped me figure out where to consider buying real estate in this new country. Thank you Annalisa Rellie and Bradt for a first rate guide. I do not agree with everything Annalisa writes but her erudition left me well informed and excited to visit each spot. I love Montenegro and I love the Bradt Guide. I can't wait to get back to Kotur and Sveti Stefan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly researched guide to Montenegro, 7 Jun 2003

By A Customer

This review is from: Montenegro (Bradt Travel Guide Montenegro) (Paperback)

Annalisa Rellie clearly loves her subject, and she has done it justice. Montenegro is a fascinating place, and this guide is the only one which is up to date and explains the best places to go, the culture, and the history and background. She writes with wit and understanding. Go to Montneegro soon, while it's still a secret (and much more exciting the the over-hyped Croatia) but don't go without the Bradt Guide to Montenegro.

3.0 out of 5 stars Fails Miserably on Practical Details, 5 Sep 2006

By	Laszlo Wagner (Hungary) - See all my reviews (TOP 1000 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

This book is probably the poorest one in Bradt's unique series of guides covering the relatively little-known countries of the Balkan region. While most other Bradt guides successfully combine insightful background info and coverage of sights with providing the useful and necessary practical travel information, this one fails on the latter front miserably.

Coverage of accomodation option was often poor, especially lacking the budget options - and for some towns listing no places to stay at all! Even worse is the complete lack of information on public transport. The author very obviously toured the country by car and couldn't be bothered to check out the existence and fares of buses and trains that are used to get around by most independant travellers!

While coverage of sights was mostly OK, it also proved pretty bad about, of all places, the nation's capital, Podgorica!

Without exception all those people whom I personally met using this guide were quite unhappy with it.
One can only hope that the publisher will eventually take note and either get a new author to rewrite the book, or provide some strong guidelines to the current author on what practical details are needed to bring this book in line with the quality of Bradt guides to the neighbouring countries: the ones covering Albania, Serbia and Hungary are all very good and could serve as a model.

Until that happens, you have a choice of buying this book just to plan WHERE you want to go (but not HOW!), or simply wait till you reach Montenegro and visit the tourist offices there that will provide you with just as many useful ideas on places to visit, and more heplful info on transport and accomodation!
