Frommer's Irreverent Guide to Rome

Rating:
Summary: Trustworthy Advice and Spry Wit
Review: This guidebook is great! Other guides will tell you what Italy is like. This one tells you what you'll like (or try to skip)about Italy. It's indispensible for American travelers who want the dish and don't want to waste their time visiting cheesy places and tourist traps. The author's views were refreshingly candid, humorous and knowledgeable.

Summary: great for before the trip - not so good during
Review: This is a refreshingly frank depiction of Rome and the Romans who have developed such an amazing city. The smart mix of history and culture into witty yet truthful guidance definitely made me feel like more of an insider. This truly is more than just a list of what you can see and where you can stay, it is a guide for your travels.
