Title: Lonely Planet Romania and Moldova (2nd Edition) by David St. Vincent, Nicola Williams, Kim Wildman ISBN: 1-86450-058-1 Publisher: Lonely Planet Pub. Date: April, 2001 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $16.99 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.4 (5 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: LP are the best guides
Comment: The previous review is slightly mistaken about the area this book covers. The reason they dont have Transylvania mentioned on the cover is because the book covers Romania and also the seperate country of Moldova. So none of the regions of Romania are mentioned on the cover and the title as shown is accurate. Anyway, the book is great, I travelled around in the company of a Moldovan who was also impressed by the book. The only places it falls down are the details, and I can forgive this as the country is changing rapidly as it heads towards membership of the EU.
I thoroughly recommend this book, and indeed any in the Lonely Planet series.
Rating: 5
Summary: Lonely Planet always impresses me.
Comment: This book came in handy during my entire stay in Romania. It also pointed out little known monuments. This is definitely a comprehensive book on many levels...I wonder why they left out Transylvania on the cover though.
Modern Day Romania is comprised of the former country Romania, Moldovia, and Transylvania.
This book is chocked full of information. This book is not intended to be a phrase book and it's entire emphasis is the unique sentence structure that the Romanian language requires.
I was there because one of the books I authored was translated into Romanian by the Sibiu Monetary Financial Commodities Exchange.
Rating: 2
Summary: Buy this if you have NO friends in Romania yet.
Comment: I found the author's tone supercilious and condescending, and the people I met and places I visited MUCH more warm and inviting than this book would suggest. The only place I found people a little "snotty" in the whole country was Bucharest - and they were nicer than the average Manhattanite, that's for sure! Your ideas about poverty and wealth WILL be challenged, your sense of humor will be expanded and thoroughly spanked, and if you don't try to buy everything that isn't for sale (or haggle over already [low] prices) you'll be amazed at how generous people are, too. Yes there are tourist traps galore, with inflated prices and rotten service, but not nearly as many as in say, the average coastal town in Maine.
