.Prague (Lonely Planet City Guides)

by: Neil Wilson

January 01, 2007
I have mixed feelings about this guide.

.Malta (Lonely Planet Country Guide)

by: Neil Wilson

September 30, 2000
Malta's history is chequered and fascinating, but this has to be the first guide I've ever read that effectively discouraged me from dragging myself away from poolside and wandering some local streets. It is informative and accurate, allowing you to dip in and out for specific pieces of info, but when reading the town-specific sections and tour suggestions, I was very much struck by an 'oh, don't bother' feeling than one of enthusiasm.

No place is perfect and guides wouldn't be guides if they purported them to be so, but there's a subtle difference between being realistic about destinations and underplaying them completely.
