Title: Lonely Planet sells out
Review: This is a total re-write of the previous 6 editions. This is usally a good thing, but I thought the previous author, Jens Peters had a keen insight to the types of things the traveler who would purchase a Lonely Planet guide was looking for. I found the new edition to be much less informative and interjected the writers opinion a little too much in some areas and not enough in others. For example, on Angeles City the writer basically said not to waste ones time there and that only middle aged Australian or European men would want to visit there. My wife and I regually visit there to buy quilts and trek to Pinitobo, not to visit the bars. But we do not judge people for where they visit. The hotel and restaurant reviews seem to been scaled back also. I am taking my 6th edition with me on my trip.
Is the review positive or negative?
