This review is from: Karen Brown's 2001 Switzerland: Charming Inns & Itineraries (Karen Brown's Switzerland. Charming Inns and Itineraries) (Paperback)

We found the introductions, hotel descriptions and locations maps useful and well presented; however the itinaries sections leaves a lot to be desired. Reading through pages 29-130 one is overwhelmed by the repetitions presented of places, excursions and highlights. Many descriptions appear in several or all chapters listed in the itineraries. In addition the book is flawed by several misconceptions and incorrect spellings, too many to be listed here. In the book on page 73 it says " Spiez is worth a short detour before leaving the lake and heading down the Alpine valley in the direction of Kandersteg." Kandersteg is up the valley. Also on page 85 it says to take a train over the mountain from Kandersteg. Actually one has to go through the mountain as there are no roads over. These are a few examples we found. We have read other books by Ms. Brown and were very dissapointed in this one. We e-mailed Ms. Brown and she was very gracious and hopes to have the mistakes corrected in the next edition. Yours truly, Marian & Erich Tobler PS We will returning the book.
