3.0 out of 5 stars Could be far better, June 8, 2006
This review is from: Fodor's Croatia and Slovenia, 1st Edition (Fodor's Gold Guides) (Paperback)
I bought this book thinking that it would be convenient to have both countries in one book. A chapter or two in Let's Go wasn't going to do the trick for a jaunt to Croatia and Slovenia, and the idea of carting two books around didn't interest me. That being said, it might just be worth it.

The book is poorly organized. The bulk of the information is on Croatia, and it doesn't provide some information that I consider critical such as train lengths or often even basic prices for hotels (let alone some form of currency converter). Frustrating as well is the fact that while Fodor's tells you about the food in Slovenia in a separate section, you have to hunt around for Croatian food. It's typical of the whole book that the two countries are shoved together without any sense of organization or equity.

There's some good information in here, but given a second chance, I would have spent a little more money and purchased two solid books (i.e. Lonely Planet) instead of one mediocre book.
