Book Reviews of Lonely Planet Ireland (Country Guide)
Book Review: A charming, opinionated, comprehensive guide.
Summary: 5 Stars
"Lonely Planet Ireland" was my introduction to the Lonely Planet series of travel books, and my experience with that volume will definitely lead me to seek out Lonely Planet books on other countries. Lonely Planet's team of writers and researchers writes in a breezy, engaging style that addresses readers as equals (too many travel writers, such as the late Temple Fielding, have talked down to readers). The book is exhaustively comprehensive, covering just about every town, village and point of interest throughout Ireland, and the writers aren't shy in giving their honest, at times bristling opinions when they think something is a tourist trap (i.e. referring to Dublin's popular Temple Bar area as "Temple Barf"). In any case, their descriptions of the places I visited and the hotels I stayed in were absolutely dead-on, and I give the guide high marks for steering me correctly in every instance. (Note to Lonely Planet, if you're reading this: I have a terrific restaurant recommendation in Galway--Cookes Restaurant in Abbeygate Street. Marvelously cozy 17th-century building, nice people, excellent wine list, wonderful food such as the salmon in lemon-dill beurre blanc and the goat cheese and crispy potato skin appetizers.)
