Summary: This book deserves 0 stars, but that was not an option
Comment: This book is full of lies, written by people who have no idea what they are talking about. I would recomend that they actually visit this country before they speak about it.
Rating: 5
Summary: Not Just for Tourists
Comment: Having lived in Romania for six years, we hardly considered ourselves tourists. It wasn't until a couple years into our stay that we came across the Rough Guide to Romania. What a great tool for getting around the country AND finding out the history of the cities and regions we traveled through. Only one word of caution: with things changing in Romania so rapidly, you have to keep the most current edition handy.
Rating: 1
Summary: It is a must NOT
Comment: Although The Rough Guide must be praised for their devotion in writing up-to-date guides, this book is offending for most Romanians. It seems that the authors tried to present Romania from a subjective Hungarian point of view. Ideas like "the great Magyar cities of Targu Mures, Cluj and Oradea" or "the largely Hungarian Csango and Szekelyfold regions" not only that should have been avoided but the historic true must have been presented. These ideas basically question the Romanian authority over this land. There are cities/regions in Romania inhabited by Magyars or hungarians minorities but that does not mean that you can label a city/region as being Magyar. The Magyars or Huns did not build these cities or originally own the land. They migrated here. Can you name Leeds as "the great Pakistani city? What about Marseilles: "the great Moroccan city"? Can you call Los Angeles "the great Hispanic city"? No.
