.Rome Eyewitness Travel Guide (Eyewitness Travel Guides)

from: Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd

February 01, 2007
I bought this book a few weeks before going on a 10 day holiday to rome and found it incredibly helpful. As well as giving lots of information on the more popular attractions such as st peters and the colosseum, there is an extensive amount of information on the lesser known, but equally as impressive sights.
As well as showing rome area by area, the Rome at a Glance section is brilliant as it gives a short list of the top attractions, then goes on to list the best churches, fountains, museums, etc.
Altogether a brilliant book to have with you whatever your doing and wherever you are in rome.

.Naples and the Amalfi Coast (Lonely Planet City Guides)

by: Duncan Garwood

April 01, 2007
This is a surprisingly poor book - unusually for Lonely Planet it is split into themes e.g. "eating", "history" rather than places. This makes finding relevant information tedious - not that there is that much really useful information. You might expect the guide to tell you how to get to Rome by train and how long the journey would take - prepare to be disappointed.

The title is also misleading - I bourght the book for a holiday on the Amalfi coast: this area is dealt with in 1 small chapter, and seems to be an after-thourght. The consequence is that I need to buy another book....

Poor effort - I would avoid this book

.Rome (Eyewitness Travel Guides)

from: Dorling Kindersley Publishers Ltd

February 01, 2008
As a general introduction to any of the many cities covered by this series, the DK Eyewitness books are invaluable. I own several. However, in common with others in the collection, the accuracy of hotel, and notably restaurant, recommendations in Rome is poor. On several visits to Rome and using the most up-to-date version of the guide at the time, restaurants had closed and in one case, the building no longer existed at the stated address! For food and accommodation try something else.

One final gripe. The series provides information on principle sites. Excellent information. It seldom, however, provides adequate information on how to find the site in the first place.

.Pompeii

by: Robert Harris

September 27, 2004
It's been a few years since I read any Harris and this proves that he is still a fine writer to me. Here he succeeds quite well in weaving a unique plot around the volcanic eruption of 78AD. Quite why he used an Aquarius beats me (an ancient roman water mains manager type). I have given him 3 stars and not 4 for this, for the simple reason that it took overly long in my opinion to get to the real action. In saying that, as another reviewer has said, Harris still makes the historical lessons interesting.
