.A Small Place
City Travel Guides > Books > Caribbean
by: Jamaica Kincaid

December 31, 1989
Jamaica needs to attend anger management classes if this is the best she can produce. A rambling, depressing, high level gripe was not what I expected, but it's certainly what was delivered and even half way through such a short book, quite frankly, I'd had enough of the attitude on display. All of which was a pity, because so many of the (valid) points made could have been delivered in a more forceful or constructive manner. An obvious objective of the book surely was to win over the support, or at least empathy of the reader, but in my opinion it fails gloriously on this front.

.Bermuda (Lonely Planet Country Guide)
City Travel Guides > Books > Caribbean
by: Glenda Bendure, Ned Friary

June 01, 2005
Armed only with the old edition of this guide, and mounted on my trusty scooter, I managed to see more or less everything that there is to see in Bermuda over the space of ten days.

The detailed maps were particularly helpful - despite its size (tiny!), Bermuda is criss-crossed by miles and miles of roads ranging from dual carriageway to jungly lane. With the Lonely Planet guide in your hand, you can explore the island without the fear of getting helplessly lost...providing you can map-read, of course.

In terms of listing and rating the sights, the beaches, and places to eat and drink, the guide was often invaluable and never less than helpful.

Obviously Bermuda is a very compact place, so the detail in the guide ... Read More:

.The Rough Guide to the Dominican Republic (Rough Guide Travel Guides)
City Travel Guides > Books > Caribbean
by: Sean Harvey

November 28, 2002
This book is clearly written by someone who knows the country well, and who has travelled extensively. It is rather excellent, and full of essential facts. At times it contains too much information, making decisions about where to go and stay more difficult, but rather this than too little information.

Far better than the useless Lonely Planet
