5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!!!, May 28, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Nevis Queen of the Caribbean (Hardcover)

This is THE reference on Nevis. It covers it all: history, traditions and customs, religion, political life, economy, people, architecture, topography and geology, climate and vegetation, flora, fauna, etc. Written in an engaging style, it also details what to see, where to stay (with complete descriptions and numerous photographs of all the hotels, villas and inns so you will have a very good idea of where you will be staying before you go there), the sports activities, the beaches, the restaurants, Nevis-style cuisine, shopping, etc. Unlike the other books on Nevis I've seen that just give you the superficial tourist view, this book is obviously written by an insider who has been living on the island for many years, and who knows Nevis extremely well. In addition it is full of gorgeous pictures. If you are going to Nevis or just doing research on the island, this is the one and only book to buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Loved this book, February 20, 2006

This review is from: Nevis Queen of the Caribbean (Hardcover)

I bought this book as a Valentine's gift for my husband as we honeymooned there - Nevis - a few months earlier. It included lots of information and beautiful photographs of areas we visited, plus information about places we want to make sure we visit upon our return. Having been there, I can say the photos are not enhanced and that the island and it's personality were accurately captured by the author. If you haven't been to Nevis, this book will make you want to go, and you will not be disappointed. If you've been fortunate enough to visit Nevis, this book will have you booking your return.
