Negative Positive
Title: Great Guide
Review: This book is mostly about traveling tips, not a guidebook for sightseeing or hotel reservations. Rick recommends getting other books for the specific countries you will be in and that is absolutely true. In fact, you will probably want to leave this book at home after you have read through it. The packing and general advice tips are fairly valuable and worth a read through at least once for new travelers. The rest of the book glosses over the backdoors Rick has found - but only in a summarized version. I would pick out the ones that seem interesting, then get the country guide to that area for more in depth information.
