4.0 out of 5 stars Very good, but not without room for improvement, 27 Aug 2004
By C. Tamplin "anti-NSDAP" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I found this book to be excellent in it's exhaustive cover of every last inch of the country. It provided infinitely more detail about everything that it's Dorling Kindersley counterpart, although slightly more focus on the National Parks would have been welcome.
It also covers everything else you'd need to know, about getting there, cultural information, a large history, flora & fauna and even two rather excellent Norwegian stories.
The bad thing is the pictures, or rather lack thereof. There are a few miserable snaps sandwiched into a couple of pages about halfway through - they aren't really any good to anybody. Otherwise, however, an excellent book.

2.0 out of 5 stars This one's a turkey, 5 Jun 2006
By Bas Scheffers (London, UK) - See all my reviews
Just spent two weeks in Norway and found it hopelessly inacurate at times. Outdated information mostly or just plain wrong. We tried 4 restaurants in Oslo, for instance, and 3 of them didn't exist any more.

Ferry, bus and train route information is almost non-existent and the person who must have done most of the northern part of Norway seems to go everywhere by car. Great descriptions how to get to places by road and where to park - something completely useless for the mostly backpacker demographic of Rough Guides readers.

The Rough Guides series in general is excellent, but this book in a turkey.

3.0 out of 5 stars not bad, 6 Mar 2006
By A Customer
I have just been on a weekend trip to Norway, I found the book to be quite informative generally, however due to the age of the book there are quite a few inaccuracies expecially in relation to restaurants and shopping areas. If advising a user of this book, I would say that it is a good general book, but by no means should you use it as a guide of things to do, as another reviewer said, it is better to use the local maps provided.
