1.0 out of 5 stars Lost in Paris with a Time Out guide.., September 14, 2004
This review is from: Time Out Paris (Paperback)
The Time Out Guide to Paris has to be just about the worst guide I have read.

The maps are worse than useless and are impossible to read. The guide book itself extreemly bulky and heavy to carry, and it is illogically ordered so that you can never find the information that you need.Not to mention the fact that the text is written almost incomprehensibly, as if a person of certain years is trying to write through the potential eyes of a 15 year old. It fails and makes the whole book unreadable and uninteresting.

The hotel suggestions are entirely useless, as they fail to mention that some areas of town are perhaps not such a good idea to stay in if you are on your own, female or with young children and the list is far from exhaustive.

I will stick to Rough Guides in future as I have yet to be let down by them, and I never feel that I am on my own in a strange city with one in my pocket. Not so with a Time Out however, as I have been lost so many times and missed out on so many interesting sites and events that I have been forced to buy a Rough Guide and a map of the city and the Metro.
