  Lonely Planet Georgia Armenia & Azerbaijan (Multi Country Guide)

  Book (Lonely Planet)
  

  Rating (9 reviews):

  (4.1/5)

  

  LP: Definitely Necessary and Almost Sufficient

  This is a review for the 4th edition of the Lonely Planet "Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan".All-in-all, this is a positive review. To put it in perspective: I have not used the previous editions of this book, or any other travel guides for the region. I travelled all three countries in two weeks, actually using the route (Tbilisi, Baku, Seki, Yerevan, two monasteries, Tbilisi, Kazbegi) suggested by the book for such an endeavor, even if decided independently from the book.The LP proved to be quite useful, in particular when it comes to the maps and information on transportation (departure sites and times). Of course, some timetables change, so if you tend to plan tightly, try to inquire ahead of time. The map material was generally sufficient, though sometimes slightly inaccurate, which may also be caused by the vicious construction activity particularly in Georgia. A separate map for the Kazbegi area would be helpful. It would be nice to have some information... 4/5 kmir "kmir" (Nashville, TN US) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Most useful Caucasus guide book for an odd reason

  We have just returned from a month-long trip through the three countries of the Caucasus and found, sadly, that they (to paraphrase the old Kingston Trio song) don't like each other very much. While Georgia is on good terms with both neighboring Armenia and Azerbaijan, the latter two seem to be on a collision course... reinterpreting history to suit their own current political ends. If you visit Armenia first and travel to occupied Karabagh, forget getting into Azerbaijan. You will even be hassled at the airports of both capitals if your passport contains a visa from the other country.This whole bit of nastiness between the two even extends to guidebooks a traveler might be carrying upon entering one or the other. If authorities notice in Baku that you have an "Armenia Guidebook" they will confiscate it... and visa versa in Yerevan if you have an "Azerbaijan Guidebook." This, therefore, makes the Lonely Planet Guide that covers all three countries a good choice for a... 5/5 Sharon (Langley, WA, United States) - See all my reviews, October 29, 2012

  travel in the Caucasus

  The book is more than adequate as a guide to the region, if not quite as thorough as it might be. But it covers three very different countries in a fairly remote part of the world, so that's to be expected. I found no other concise travel guides out there for the Caucasus. I tried to follow one of the walking tours described in the book, and that proved challenging, though eventually I was able to find the landmarks they mentioned. Again, overall it does the job more than adequately. 4/5 tomfelix - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Classy watch

  I love Fossil watches, so I expected this to be high quality, but this exceeded my expectations. It is much prettier than the picture. The stainless steel finish has a rich quality to it, and it is chunky without being clunky! The face is large (seems larger than pictured), but complements the overall style of the watch.

  Georgia Off the Beaten Path®, 9th: A Guide to Unique Places (Off the Beaten Path Series)

  Book (GPP Travel)
  

  Rating (3 reviews):

  (4.3/5)

  

  A great resource for anyone traveling in Georgia

  I've lived in Atlanta for years now, and a little over a year ago I realized I hadn't seen much of the state beyond my city. I bought this book last spring, and I absolutely love it. If you're looking for the everyday tourist attraction that everyone flocks to, this book covers that (but only in a passing comment or 2). But most importantly this book covers, in great detail, fantastic places many Georgians and tourists overlook. The condition my copy of this book is in should tell you how much I love it and have used it. Not only does it list attractions, but it also covers festivals and other events specific to cities of all sizes in Georgia. I prefer off-the-beaten-path types of travel, and this book has made me appreciate and love all of the history, kookiness, and personality that my state has to offer. 5/5 J. Specker (Atlanta, GA United States) - See all my reviews, January 26, 2010

  Wonderful Little Book

  I've lived in Georgia for 30 years, bought this book decades ago when I first moved to middle Georgia and have totally destroyed it. When I recently re-read my ancient edition (late 80's), I realized that there are still plenty of places I haven't visited. I'm getting a new copy so I can start exploring different parts of the state, especially now that I'm living in North Georgia. So many neat little towns and out-of-the way places to visit. 5/5 MJ (Georgia) - See all my reviews This review is from: Georgia Off the Beaten Path®, 9th: A Guide to Unique Places (Off the Beaten Path Series) (Paperback) I've lived in Georgia for 30 years, bought this book decades ago when I first moved to middle Georgia and have totally destroyed it.

  DVD (Miramax Lionsgate)

  In the dark we're all scared...

  What a beautiful family drama this film was! Not only did director Ulu Grosbard give us this story about two sisters and the struggles between them, but also he gave it to us (with the help of writer Barbara Turner) with a surprising twist that you do not see in everyday cinema. Here is a story that is brutally honest and exceptionally real to anyone involved. On the top layer you have a sister trying to compete with the popularity of the other, on another layer you have a troubled spirit controlled by substance abuse, and yet on another layer (and they keep going), you have this sister which isn't a good singer more passionate about the craft than the one that has an ever growing fan base. Wow. With this much structure and substance, you may think that it could get wrapped around itself relatively easy and eventually loose the potential that it has. Well, if you were thinking that ... you would be wrong. Georgia is able to keep us guessing and wanting more from each passing... 4/5 A.

  Rags to Riches,NO, Greek Tragedy,NO (minus one star because)

  This is a tale about a successful singer and her sister living on her coat tails as a untalented singer, addict, and polar opposite. It's clean living success versus struggles and failures. As an author of a book dealing with dysfunction and addiction, I enjoyed this move. The movie is set up to root for the underdog, but the more you want her to make it or to crash and burn (even die), the more she stays the same in her situation. Basically, you can't teach a dog new tricks. Excellant acting by Jennifer Jason Leigh as the overly masscaraed, eye-lined Sadie. At times she looks like she has two black eyes, because in reality she has been beaten (not physically, but beaten in life). I kept waiting for her to be beautiful, but JJL does a great job being unattractive. Why did I prefer her to the Georgia character? Must be a character flaw of mine. I rooted like heck for her and chances are would have seen one of her band's shows instead of Georgia's.

  Heartbreaking

  This is a movie for introspective people. It's heartbreaking to watch JJ Leigh's Sadie manufacturing so much hope in believing in herself and her singing. I identify more with Georgia's character because she has more or less the approval from the society. At times I felt embarrassed for Sadie with her tryings and failures. While 'normal folks' see Sadie as a talentless junkie, you have to give Sadie points for trying. Music is a form of self-expression and is very subjective. Nobody has the right to crush a musician's dream. Both actresses gave nuanced performance. Although JJ Leigh's got the flashier Sadie. Without Winningham's emotionally guarded Georgia, there's no contrast to Sadie's desperate plight. The song "No More Hard Times" was so poignant to the story. It broke my heart at the end of the film to see two sisters singing the same song at different settings. You know both women had achieved an understanding for each other's path in life.

  Completely Innacurate

  I just purchased this book for trip to Georgia and have to say it hardly helped me at all. It is laid out ok, but the issue that the country is changing so quickly, a 5 year revision turnaround on this book simply doesn't work. Almost all of the practical information is incorrect about transportation, museums, roadways, etc...If you are planning a trip to Georgia, this may be slightly useful for one or two sites, but you really need to consult the internet for trip reviews from other sites like Trip Advisor or Virtual Tourist. 2/5 Dustin Schultz (Gig Harbor, WA USA) - See all my reviews, October 19, 2010

I'm satisfied with my purchase, but the material is much thinner when compared to my other hoodies I got at the regular $50 price.
