Asia 101, June 25, 2006 Reviewer:C. Gaddis "Tinysmom" (Penang, Malaysia) - This book will help you find your way around. No problem. The maps were very good. I would have appreciated more restaurant and shopping reviews:ie.. What to look for in the way of bargains found only in Bali, how to tell if you are being ripped off, that kind of help. On that matter, you can tell it was written by a man. In fact this book felt more man friendly than woman friendly. I too, like the above reader, live in Asia. I take my family when I travel. Lonely Planet doesn't cater to my "crowd". I wanted to be told to avoid specific locations or tourist traps and to be told not to miss other places, and I felt sorta let down. I think the author could have given better information on hotels. For instance I found our hotel on line. The book didn't help at all there. For more family oriented guides I usually go with Frommer's (wish I would have had it on this trip). If you venture anywhere in Asia, you must do your homework and that means Internet, and generally more than one guide book. I would recommend this as a companion guide. We liked Bali so much we are going again in 6 months.
