Rough guides and lonely planets annoy me because they unceremoniously dump factoids upon you, and are often culturally insensitive.

How to do justice to this book. Firstly the positives. The author has a talented knack of setting the scene & capturing the essences for some of the most (in)famous trials in history.

This is an excellent book, packed with useful advice. We visited all three countries using this one book and found it extremely informative. We used the top 5 recommendations shown for each country and was not disappointed. If you are only spending a couple of days in each country then take this book with you - it will save you a lot of time working out where to go!
