2.0 out of 5 stars gives me the yawns
Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2004
Not enough information about the popular culture or nightlife to really absorb the lifestyle of Cariocas. For such a complex and exciting city, this book offers basic, conventional information, some of which is out dated and few photos or illustrations. ...This book gives me the yawns. I recommend Rio for Partiers (even if you are not twenty-something)to get excited about traveling to Rio de Janeiro, one of the most gifted cities in the world.

1.0 out of 5 stars I do not recommend this book...
Reviewed in the United States on March 18, 2004
Before going on my trip to Rio, I decided to purchase 3 guide books rather than relying on just one. And what a great decision that was! Had I relied on just Lonely Planet's Rio guide, I would have been as hopeless as a lost puppy. Most of the information in this book are outdated or plain incorrect. Important areas such as music, nightlife, etc. were neglected and many recommendations such as those for lodging & dining were off. My suggestion is that one should definitely look for alternatives to this guide as my copy is awaiting a more useful future near a recycling plant on outskirts of Rio.
Of the 3 guides that I purchased, I found Rio for Parties the most useful. An excellent guide aimed for the young or the young at heart.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lonely Planet is Out!
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2004
I dont recommend this book, most of the informations are inaccurated. Rio has an extensive options that are not described on that book. Unfortunately I have spent three days to discover an excelent visual travel guide called Rio for Partiers. Expensive than Lonely Planet, it's true, but all the informations you have to know is there. By The Way I could save a lot of money using the discounts and bonuses!
