very interesting! October 5, 2008 it is kind of dangerous to read this book cause it gives you a lots of ideas!!!! and you want to see everything in the USA...
easy to find what you want in it, good maps, good advice...
Great book - sorry I wasn't able to use it August 18, 2008 0 out of 1 found this review helpful
I got the book a little to late. Not because of Amazon, but UPS did not deliver as promised. After having a quick look in the book I see alot of things I should have done during my weeks in the US, but now it's to late.
Next time I'll promise you, next time :)
Lonely Planet USA May 24, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
The USA Lonely Planet guide is a fantastic, detailed resource for those of us that have not travelled the vast expanses of the USA but want to get to the 'nitty gritty' of of a city or place. The inclusion of places to eat is very useful and the many 'things to do' are mostly very interesting to a newcomer like me.
Good Book May 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this bok because i travel a lot in the states. I used it first for the westcoat. Its a good book, sometimes i missed some sort of walking route or sights route. I like those stuff like "must see's".
I also used the Lonely Planet book for California. It had much more intersting stuff in there than the one for the whole america.
So if you plan to travel more than one week in the same state, i would recommend to buy the Lonely Planet book for the particular state.
LP getting too big for their britches? April 19, 2008 7 out of 11 found this review helpful
Lonely Planet has been the standard for in-depth guidebooks for a while now, with more and more titles being added and updates more frequently. But has success gone to their head? I'm finding LP's most recent books have developed an "attitude". I.E., their travel writing is becoming more and more smarmy and "hipsterish". I dunno, maybe I'm just getting old? :( This LP USA guide is the worst yet I've read so far in regard. They're trying so hard to be "cool" or something, like it was an LP book written by guys watching MTV or something. If this continues, I don't know if I'll continue to buy their updates of favorite titles. The depth of info here is still pretty top notch and their organizing of their books is still great. But for heck's sake, guys, just REPORT, OK? Stop trying to act like Stephen Colbert or Jon Stewart writing travel essays!
