Book Reviews of Lonely Planet India
Book Review: lonely planet india
Summary: 5 Stars
my only suggestion is that the book be divided into two vloumes- north and then south india. the book is too large to lug about in a back pack.
Book Review: madam ,everything is possible in India...
Summary: 3 Stars
Although we found this guide book very helpful for trains, buses and places to go to, We've been to many places where the book only lists the big hotels and not the nice and cozy guest houses We've eventually found on our own. Many travelers that We've met on the road were looking for the same thing: nice guest houses and not big huge hotels.Also there are fast changes in India that Lonely planet should be informed about. We did for some of these changes but it was ignored. This new one did not have any of the changes we wrote to them about.Book Review: quality still not high
Summary: 3 Stars
As with all LP guides, success and industrial-style production have brought wealth to the owners but quality has suffered. This book doesn't have as many egregious errors as some previous editions, but it's still weak in many ways. Although sometimes it's delightful, like when the Great Value Hotel in Dehradun is praised for having a candle in each room "for romantic lighting"!! (Anyone who has been to India knows what the candles are really there for---emergency lighting for when the power fails, which can happen daily.)
