5.0 out of 5 stars Stormin' Normandy, 24 Oct 2007
By M. T. Anstee "Dingo" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Our family went to Normandy this summer and brought two guide books. This one ended up being used all the time as it seemed to give us the best flavour of the region in an incisive, objective yet personable way. I've read the reviews before this one and can't understand what the references to negativity are based on - we thought there was a dry and appreciating wit throughout the book. This book comes highly recommended from our family.

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst travel guide I have ever bought., 9 Jul 2007
By Mr. D. Kelleher "Denis K." (Cork, Ireland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I bought this guide just prior to traveling to Britanny / Normandy. The book was the bain of my trip. The book is badly laid out, poor and inaccurate maps, and most annoyingly is written in a very negative manner..ie tells us first and foremost why we should avoid a particular town or region and then expands on this rather than offering alternative ideas. Mostly the book is inaccurate and poorly researched in my opinion. I will never ever again by a 'rough guide' based on this book. In summary, avoid this book like the plague.

1.0 out of 5 stars Dreadful. Simply dreadful., 29 Aug 2007
By A. Delahunty - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am sure this has been made clear by other reviewers, but the negative tone of this book cannot be overstated. I have been to this area many, many times in my life, and having been bought this book as a present, I found myself wondering whether the author and I had actually been to the same places. The people in Brittany and Normandy are almost without fail a delight, and more than happy to help with anything relating to their lands. Many times I have wandered into bars and restaurants in Normandy and (especially) Brittany, almost entirely upon the recommendations of locals, and had a fantastic time chatting and eating.

I feel I have to tell you all the above, simply to counteract what has been written in this book. The miserable tones which you have to battle through on every page make reading this book a real chore, and can fill the prospective holidaymaker with dread. Worse, you might even just stay at home, and do a few odd jobs instead. Ignore him! Please! Go to this beautiful place, drink the wines, and eat the cheeses - especially the king of cheeses, the Livarot, a local specialty.

This is a tenner poorly spent, and such a disgrace to the otherwise good name of the Rough Guide series. Get something else instead, such as the excellent Rough Guide To France, or even better, just get a cheap flight and discover the place for yourself.
