2.0 out of 5 stars A Good Guide Book is Sufficient, October 27, 2000
By Joy (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews
Went to Hong Kong for the first time and wanted to do some background reading. If you're fairly familiar with world history and politics and some background on the fact that Hong Kong was a former British colony, I don't think this book offers any earthshattering insights. Furthermore, this book was poorly edited with grammar and punctuation errors.

If you're simply travelling for business, a good guide book will provide much of the same information. If you're trying to open a business or office, then you will likely need a more in-depth introduction than this book provides. In addition, the authors add several personal ancedotes, which I didn't find to be particularly insightful or instructive.

The bottom line is browse through this book in a bookstore first. I think you'll find that you can much of the same information by reading a good guide book or even talking to other colleagues who have travelled to Hong Kong.
