Summary: Took Two
Comment: I used two books on my visit, the other was Driving and Discovering Oahu. They complimented each other and gave me all the information necessary for a wonderful time. There were no surprises, both books tell it like it is. What a place. In seven days there wasn't enough time to do it justice so I guess I'll have to make it back when the airfare drops again. For restaurant reviews, this one was the best.

Summary: One of the best books on Oahu.
Comment: Before my vacation to Oahu, I researched the various guides to the island. Lonely Planet won over the rest!
Now, after my wonderful trip, I can say that L.P. really knows its stuff! You really get the nitty-gritty on traveling the island, not the typical tourist spots. The guide gave me info on lots of great out of the way locations that made this trip a gem. More importantly, it was very honest about certain locales that should be skipped (they were tour bus mecca though).
With the pronounciation key, I didn't sound like too much of a mainlander. The restaurants recommended were superb and easy to find as well as the shops.
The maps inside the book were essential to driving around the island although to this day I cannot figure out how to get to the Punchbowl Crater (Diamond Head was fab though). I even invested in a large fold-out version of the L.P. map.
The first few chapters give lots of interesting history and pertinent info on Hawaiian life. Throughout the book you will find great little nuggets on various spots and background. This really brings everything to life.
The L.P. guide is not your grandma's idea of a trip to Hawaii! I loved it and so will you (but you can't have mine because I am going back).
Rating: 5
Summary: Great Guide Book.
Comment: I really enjoyed the style of writing the books author employs. It all sounds decidedly British, but without being too stale.
There really is a lot of information in this book. It is well worth the small price.
