Moon Handbooks, Los Angeles, 30. Juli 2000
Rezension bezieht sich auf: Moon Handbooks Los Angeles (Los Angeles Handbook, 1st ed) (Taschenbuch)
Wilfires, blah blah, floods, blah blah, riots, blah blah, (fill in the blank) suburbs in search of a city, blah blah, traffic, blah blah, smog, shallow plastic people, frenzied lifestyle, earthquakes, blah blah blah! Do all travel guide authors go to the same school, with the same teacher, or do they just keep regurgitating each others' own fallacies. They might indeed all GO to the same school since three of the major travel guide publishers are located in the bay area (Ulysses, Lonely Planet, and Moon); and reading any of them is like reading the other. It should come as no suprise to anyone that there never has been one in the bay area with anything good to say about SoCal. Something akin to the French attitude towards Americans. It's hard for an author to encourage readers to visit a place when they already have disdain for the place to begin with, and these authors are no exception. If you want a good travel guide to Los Angeles, try Fodor, that publisher at least hired a writer who enjoys the city. Los Angeles is the most dynamic city on the American scene, and one of the most in the world. Los Angeles is not just a city "not to be missed", it is THE city to see. The rest can be fit in as time allows. So by all means, come and enjoy our city, but I would recommend another guide to do it, (nice maps though).
