review 1: Poor. Not very good, but not awful. Would never buy another Fodor Travel Guide after buying the England and Ireland. Map was useless pretty much. Next time, will buy Lonely Island instead or Rick Steve. Positives: color photos. some information on hotels and detailed information on main sights.The Book of Kells is NOT the number one attraction in Dublin, despite what this idiot says multiple. The entire country would have to be ashamed if it were.
review 2: I bought the Kindle edition of this book for our recent trip to Ireland, rather than carrying heavy travel books on this trip. I found it frustrating to use, although it seemed to contain the necessary information.The most significant complaint I have is that there is no index, so finding information is dif... moreficult. I used it primarily in the evenings to read about the next day's sights, to be able to choose which of the sights to see in our limited time. The only way to find things was to use the Kindle search utility, and then, it often provided many entries, and it was tough to find the main entry, rather than a passing reference.The table of contents is tiered, and if you don't know the main entry, you can't find the area you are looking for. I did not read this book cover to cover - that isn't why I bought it. We had other books on Ireland we used to plan our trip from home. I intended this as an in-country reference book, and the organization and lack of an index made it less than ideal for this purpose. less
