Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Useful and enjoyableHaving just written a poor review for the Bradt Bosnia guide, this guide is quite a contrast and in my opinion excellent. Bradt gives their authors more freedom than other guides which means each book might not be to everyone's tastes or expectations from the series. Annalisa Rellie to me struck the perfect balance between showing a passion for the country (something often lacking in factual RG/LP guides) yet providing comprehensive and concise information. I did think that there was detailed information about the beaches, although I prefer hiking and found the descriptions of Durmitor and areas around Skadar lake to be very useful and informative.

The practical information is not that good and the maps are truly terrible, the one for Cetinje being particularly bad, good job it's not a large town. There is very little beach information as regards how to get to them and whether they're sand or pebbles. There is no information on location or opening times of post offices and the 'mini dictionary' is poor and arranged in a strange fashion. I imagine the forthcoming Rough Guide will be better than this apology for a travel guide. Rating: - Much improved, excellent guide; thanks Annalisa RellieAnnalisa 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. |
