Summary: Best guidebook ever
Comment: This is not only the best guidebook for Nicaragua, this is the best guidebook, bar none, of any I have ever read for any location on the planet(and I've read lots). Berman and Wood have not only done their homework about where to go, they've included well-written segments on regional history, geography, culture, language, people-watching, environmental concerns, infrastructure availability, volunteer opportunities in addition to very well documented sources with contact information when appropriate. I have never read a guidebook with such complete information (and clearly-understood, clever writing) until this one. Even if you don't plan on travelling to Nicaragua, this book is highly recommended reading.

Summary: If you really want to see Nicaragua, this is your book
Comment: Until this book came along, solid guidebook options on Nicaragua were limited at best. You've basically got three choices: Lonely Planet Central America, Moon Handbooks Nicaragua, and the Footprints guide. For anyone planning on staying more than a few days in Nicaragua, there is no question that this book will enhance your trip significantly. I recently spent three months travelling through Nicaragua and ended up ditching the other two guides b/c they lacked up to date material and were severely limited and outdated in their descriptions of where to stay, eat, and visit (basically the things that you really need to know). For those of you looking for a more local experience, or at least a way to get off the beaten path, this book will be a lifesaver. It is clear that these guys have lived in Nicaragua for a decent chunk of time. I'm tired of bashing on the other guidebooks, but there are many parts of the country that the other books fail to cover in any relevant detail or even mention at times.
As far as writing style goes, these guys are actually hilarious. I'm not looking for comedy in a guidebook (just solid info which they've provided in full), but it's a bonus to find a book which provides what you need and presents it in a way that's intelligent and amusing. Their list of fiestas patronales is a must have for those who have the time to stick around the country and check them out. I would also suggest picking up a copy of Waves (a free magazine published in Nicaragua for tourists) for more on what is going on in Nicaragua during a specific month. There's no question that Nicaragua has some amazing sites and incredibly friendly people, so it's nice to finally have a guidebook that allows people to enjoy the experience more fully. If you're heading to Nicaragua, this is your book.

Summary: Phenomenal
Comment: The other reviews pretty much sum it up... I just wanted to add my support. I've travelled a fair amount and read my share of guide books. This is the best I've ever sniffed out. I'm a slow reader and I read the entire thing cover to cover in 2 days. Quite an accomplishment for me. The "intro" and "on the road" sections were super informative and really helped me better understand/appreciate the confusing situation in Nicaragua. Frankly, I'd recommend you get this book even if you aren't going to travel to Nicaragua ;)
