Title: Junior League visits Singapore
Review: Pure Drivel. This is possibly the worst guide book I've ever used. The guide has pretty pictures and a good map inserted in the back cover, but the narrative is written at a fifth grade level by a bored Junior League housewife. The book repeats itself, rewriting the same boring descriptions in different sections of the book. There is no understanding of the culture or history, no description of the public transport system and no development of the role of Singapore in Southeast Asian politics. The book thinks that everything in Singapore is just dandy, gives no warning of tourist traps and is best used by Cruise Ship passengers with a need to visit more department stores.I used this guide on a recent visit and had the worst meal (and the most expensive)on my entire asian trip following its suggestions. You'll learn more from ten minute talk with a cab driver.
