5.0 out of 5 stars Unexpectedly good read, July 31, 2001

By	A Reader (Amherst, MA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Footprint Dominican Republic Handbook (Footprint Handbooks) (Paperback)

Cameron's approach beats the other guidebooks in its up to date assessment of the country's politics and history as it relates to each of the regions you plan on visiting. Relevant sidebar info is sprinkled throughout the book to provide the reader with something other than the usual monotonous listings of hotels, restarants, and places to visit--though she knows her stuff here as well. This book is the most currently published of all the other titles out there.

3.0 out of 5 stars Guide to DR, July 10, 2009

By	Ms. Mouse (Boston) - See all my reviews

This book had a lot of good information. However, the book was published in 2002 and some of the information was out of date. For example, phone numbers had all changed and some places were no longer in business. But for a good overall guide it was fine.
