Title: Not worth it
Review: I bought this book for my first trip to Germany: Frankfurt, Wiesbaden, Koblenz, and Koeln. There is information on Frankfurt, but a few of these cities he dismisses out of hand as having nothing worth seeing. I have to admit that I did not like the skewed perspective of this book: it seems mainly cater to americans and to those of a slightly liberal persuasion. There are numerous references to how americans would perceive things in Germany when they arrived, as if they were the only ones visiting Germany! The continuous silly references to "evil" Nazis in the Bavarian section made me leave this book in the trash when I went to Bayern last year, and I'm glad that I did because I saw a lot that I never would have had I followed his book. Do your own research and make your own agenda. This guy's like the american media--don't let him decide what's important; decide for yourself!
