4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Coffee Table Book, March 31, 2000

By A Customer

The book has excellent content and wonderful color photos of St. Lucia, its people, culture, and geography. However, my sole complaint is that it is not laid out as well as it could be. It would be difficult to use this book as a real guide due to its lack of expansive "nitty-gritty" information such as exact locations, mileage, cost, etc. The book is instead an excellent casual read for someone curious about the island.

4.0 out of 5 stars Get in the mood for the tropics, January 24, 2002

By	H DE GOUW (Utrecht, Utrecht Netherlands) - See all my reviews

Sit back and relax...This one takes you on an appetizing ride through all st Lucia has to offer. Well, maybe its is a bit aimed at the tourist attractions but that's what made it so good for me: you can actually experience everything in the book yourself without going through too much trouble. And when we returned home, we only needed to flick through the pages to get that relaxed caribbean glow again. Take this book together with the 'rough guide' and you'll both have the glamour and the practical.
