Summary: This book has too much info on Singapore and none on Borneo
Review: Frommer's info is well-written and clear but 228 out of 299 pages deal only with Singapore and this book has no information at all about Sarawak and Sabah, the best places in Malaysia in my opinion.The info on Taman Negara Park and it's activities, such as rafting were scanty and there was no info on the islands of the eastern peninsula.

Summary: Disappointed in Scanty Info on Malaysia
Review: I just purchased this book in anticipation of a trip to Malaysia....so my review is written without having yet been on the trip. However, this book lacks some basic information on Malaysia that I expect in a travel guide in order to plan a trip, for example, more fleshed out information on safety, health, exercise (and more) that is usually found in Frommer's guides and is found in the section on Singapore. The *ONE* map of Kuala Lumpur is inadequate to even find the things mentioned in the accompanying text. And when trying to figure out what to do with a few extra days from Kuala Lumpur, there is no information on how to get to the sites suggested, nor how long it takes! No web sites or email addresses listed for the outfitters mentioned - perhaps they don't exist, but I doubt it. There were other inadequacies I noted in the section on Malaysia as well, but these suffice as examples of why I find this book of poor quality compared to most Frommer's books. For the first time ever, I have to say I am very disappointed in a Frommer's guide.

Review: I just spent a month on business in Singapore and couldn't have made it without this book. Everything was right on, from restaurant reviews to prices for hotels. Jennifer has a great sense of humor and is right on with her recommendations and insights. I travel a lot and will buy Frommers from now on.

Summary: A book so enticing you can't put it down!
Review: You would never expect that a travel book would actually be interesting. But suprise suprise! Jennifer Eveland's writing style tells not only fun things to do, but gets into socio-economic descriptions of the areas she visits, as well as bringing history and religious input about the areas as well. Whether you're going to Singapore or Malasia, or just facying the idea, this book will proove great reading, and create interesting dinner conversation.
