3.0 out of 5 stars
More of a novel than a guide, June 26, 2003
This review is from: Travellers' Survival Kit: Australia & New Zealand (Paperback)
This is written in the style of Lets Go and Lonely Planet covering two countries in the same size book that the others have for one. It doesn't have as many sub headings as it's competitors and each city reads like a chapter in a novel with limited subheadings. This can make quick searches for things take a bit longer. This book is more for the person who uses the book to read up and obtain information to plan their trip before travelling. For those who buy these sorts of guides just to find hostels, bus companies etc while travelling then Let's Go would be a better purchase. In fact Let's Go is better for the former person as well. This book is better than Lonely Planet Australia though but then hey anything is. Let's Go both Australia and New Zealand editions and Lonely Planet New Zealand are far better than this book and have heaps more hostel listings and information.
