Der Autor zeigt sich von der Erfindung der Fotografie unbeeindruckt. Ziemlich trockene Lektüre, die den einen oder anderen guten Tip enthält.

Great for ideas but not for trip planning
21. Mai 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
With 65 themed itineraries and 1192 places covered through the states of North & South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee this book would appear at first glance to be exactly what you were looking for when doing a trip through the Southeastern United States. Call me picky, but the problem I found was that after reviewing the various preplanned trips there isn't one I would be interested in following from beginning to end. Not one.
The problem is that the various trips are arranged in such a way that I believe the average traveler would quickly become disinterested. For instance, there are many trips involving themes such as "food and drink" that last for days. Take for instance a four day trip involving 21 different restaurants in Atlanta. The first question to ask is would you be able to eat at 21 restaurants in four days? The second is, if you were to visit Atlanta would you want to spend all your time doing nothing else except eating at restaurants? Others like the "outdoors" trip involve 19 different destinations encompassing 300 miles. I doubt it will be completed in the 2-3 days they say it can be done; unless you don't stop to see anything.
The other problem I had was they didn't spend much time selling the different destinations. One of the more interesting trips involves retracing the steps of Martin Luther King. While there are a number of interesting places to see in this 600 mile, 4-day trip, one of the destinations involves a visit to the National Voting Rights Museum. According to the book, their claim to fame is a cattle prod used by a racist sheriff on African-Americans. Sold yet?
So that's why I struggle to give this book even three stars. You'll likely not follow their pre-planned trip ideas and quite a few of the destinations have only a one or two sentence description. Enough to pique your interest but that's it. I think the best use of this book is to generate ideas but you'll still need to plan your trip yourself.

There are better guidebooks
15. Dezember 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
I live in North Carolina, and was very excited about getting this guidebook on the region. However, it proved to be a big disappointment because it tries to cover too much territory. The guidebook really has no focus. Is it covering the Carolinas and Georgia, the Southeast or the entire South? Even though the title highlights the Carolinas and Georgia, it doesn't emphasize them as much as one would expect. What is Louisiana, Kentucky and Mississippi doing in this book? I found myself frustrated with the entire setup because there really doesn't seem to be one. I suppose the title should have simply been The South, but then it left out Arkansas, Virginia, and Florida. For my area (central NC--Raleigh/Durham) there were no great tips for the traveler that couldn't be found in a Triple A guidebook. Basically, it gives the most general of information. The writing was not really engaging, either. I do not recommend this guidebook for anyone interested in the Carolinas, which I know extremely well. I was trying to think for whom this guidebook was written, and I honestly cannot answer that.

Look it over before you buy....
4. August 2009
Format:Taschenbuch|Amazon Vine™ Rezension
(Was ist das?)
Lonely Planet's `The Carolinas, Georgia & the South Trips,' which offers 65 themed itineraries, and 1192 local places to see, covers North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Kentucky. I am a Southerner; these are states I often visit, and my hometown is included in this volume, so my evaluation of it is based on personal experience.
The suggestions for my hometown are bland and glib. A local restaurant is suggested because `the servers are coeds.' The area lodging suggested is a converted grain silo - which may be fun for hunters and horseback riders, but hey guys, some folks may be better suited to one of local B&B's or even the Marriott. `The local places to see' in my area reads as though it were written by someone who has never seen the place!
As a matter of fact, reading through the guide, I wonder how many on-site visits were paid. There seems to be little in-depth information. There is no sense of immediacy or place.
I understand that these guides are intended to be edgy and appeal to an younger audience. That`s a valid goal. But surely even the young deserve more complete information and less of a local tourism board handout feeling about the project.
My advice: look it over before you buy.
