Title: Poorly Written Guide
Product review: This is probably the worst guide book I have ever owned, and I own a lot of guide books. I received it as a gift, and I wish I had gotten Lonely Planet, Let's Go, or Rough Guide; even Frommer's would be better. If all Moon Handbooks are this poor, I have no idea how they stay in business. It is poorly written--it reads like a seventh grader wrote it. The language is flowery rather than informative, and when the writers try to include cultural or historical information, they base it on hearsay or simply get bored with writing and leave the reader wondering what the real story is (their section on Garifuna history, for example, ends in 1832--surely the Garifuna have done something in the last 171 years). Do yourself a favor and buy a different guidebook.
