If you're buying 1 Baltics travel book, don't buy this one.......2007-07-27
I generally love Lonely Planet books, so was a bit disappointed with this one. It's good as a quick reference guide, but nothing much more. It doesn't have very much background or history about some of the area's most important places. If you're going to buy only one book before traveling to the Baltics, choose the Rough Guide instead - we ended up using it almost exclusively towards then end of our trip. Also, the hotels/accommodations selection in this edition is very poor.

First Time Traveler to Lithuania September 2005.......2005-09-26
I found the Lonely Planet Estonia Latvia & Lithuania book very helpful on my first trip to Lithuania. Six women traveling, we felt very safe, the maps were well written and made our daily planning easy. Time distances on the bus were accurate. Information on customs made us feel more at ease. We looked for relatives because my grandmother left Lithuania 100 years ago and found them. A bus trip to the city she was from, visiting the Tourist Information Center(as was listed in the book), an English speaking person in the office and we asked for a phone book which listed two phone numbers with my grandmother's last name. Wow, thank you Lonely Planet.
Useful, but needs some work.......2004-09-27
As usual, Lonely Planet guides give the most detailed information on the "nuts and bolts" of travel (bus and train instructions, locations and practicalities.) We found this particularly useful in a region where we did not share a common language with the people.
However, tourism to the Baltic region boomed in 2004 with these countries' entry into the EU, making the book's hotel listings completely inadequate. I don't fault the authors/editors for not anticipating the boom, but rather comment that, for example, with only 3000 hotel rooms in Vilnius a guidebook now needs to list a lot more hotles so visitors can hope to get one of those now-coveted rooms!
The other drawback of this book is common to most other Lonely Planet titles: the information on cities, buildings, monuments, etc., is very dry (lacks color) and is overly terse. For such information, I have come to enjoy Rough Guides which usually include enjoyable walking tours of the major tourist areas.
Comprehensive and Concise.......2004-05-04
The authors managed to stuff everything you need to know in a relatively small book. I have been in the Baltics three times and know Latvia quite well, but this book will enrich my next trip (the relatives and locals can only do so much).
I recommed it.
Book Description
Introduction
The Baltic States - Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia - are far from being the grey, Soviet-scarred republics that many people imagine them to be. For a start, they're graced by three of the most enthralling national capitals in Eastern Europe, each highly individual in character and boasting an extraordinary wealth of historic buildings, as well as an expanding and energetic nightlife and cultural scene. Outside the cities lie great swathes of unspoiled countryside, with deep, dark pine forests punctuated by stands of silver birch, calm blue lakes, and a wealth of bogs and wetlands, all bordered by literally hundreds of kilometres of silvery beach. Peppering the landscape are villages that look like something out of the paintings of Marc Chagall, their dainty churches and wonky timber houses leaning over narrow, rutted streets. As you'd expect from a region periodically battered by outside invaders, there are dramatic historical remains aplenty, from the grizzled ruins of the fortresses thrown up by land-hungry Teutonic Knights in the thirteenth century, to the crumbling military installations bequeathed by Soviet occupiers some 700 years later.
Although the half century spent under Soviet rule has left Lithuanians, Latvians and Estonians with a great deal in common, they're each fiercely proud of their separate status, and tend to regard the "Baltic States" label as a matter of geographical convenience rather than a real indicator of shared culture.
The Latvians and Lithuanians do at least have similar origins, having emerged from the Indo-European tribes who settled the area some two thousand years before Christ, and they still speak closely related languages. The Estonians, on the other hand, have lived here at least three millennia longer and speak a Finno-Ugric tongue that has more in common with Finnish than with the languages of their next-door neighbours. In historical and religious terms, it's the Lithuanians that are a nation apart - having carved out a huge, independent empire in medieval times, they then converted to the Catholic faith in order to cement an alliance with Poland. In contrast, the Latvians and Estonians were conquered by Teutonic Knights in the thirteenth century and subjected to a German-speaking feudal culture that had become solidly Protestant by the mid-1500s. From the eighteenth-century onwards, the destinies of the three Baltic peoples began to converge, with most Latvians and Estonians being swallowed up by the Tsarist Empire during the reign of Peter the Great and the Lithuanians following several decades later. Despite their common predicament, no great tradition of Baltic cooperation emerged, and when the three Baltic States became independent democracies in 1918-1920 - only to lose their independence to the USSR and Nazi Germany two decades later - they did so as isolated units rather than as allies.
The one occasion on which the Baltic nations truly came together was in the 1988-1991 period, when a shared sense of injustice at what the Soviet Union had done to them produced an outpouring of inter-Baltic solidarity. At no time was this more evident than when an estimated two million people joined hands to form a human chain stretching from Tallinn to Vilnius on 23 August, 1989, the fiftieth anniversary of the 1939 Molotov-Ribbentrop pact - the cynical Soviet-Nazi carve-up that had brought the curtain down on inter-war Baltic independence. Baltic fellow feeling became less pronounced in the post-Soviet period when each country began to focus on its own problems, and it's now the differences - rather than the similarities - between the Baltic peoples that most locals seem eager to impress upon visitors.
How different they actually are remains open to question, with both locals and outsiders resorting to a convenient collection of clichés whenever the question of national identity comes under discussion: the Lithuanians are thought to be warm and spontaneous, the Estonians distant and difficult to know, while the Latvians belong somewhere in between. In truth there are plenty of ethnographic similarities linking the three nationalities. A century ago the majority of Lithuanians, Latvians and Estonians lived on isolated farmsteads or small villages, and a love for the countryside, coupled with a contemplative, almost mystical feeling for nature, still runs in the blood. Shared historical experiences - especially the years of Soviet occupation and the sudden re-imposition of capitalism that followed it - have produced people with broadly similar outlooks and, wherever you are in the Baltic States, you'll come across older people marked by fatalism and lack of initiative and younger generations characterized by ambition, impatience and adaptability to change.
The Baltic peoples today are also united by gnawing concerns about whether such relatively small countries can preserve their distinct identities in a rapidly globalizing world. The rush to join NATO and the EU has been broadly welcomed in all three countries, not least because membership of both organizations promises protection against any future resurgence of Russian power. However, locals remain keenly aware that they can only be bit-part players in any future Europe. Lithuania has a population of 3.8 million, Latvia 2.3 million, and Estonia only 1.4 million - hardly the stuff of economic or cultural superpowers. Combined with this is a looming fear of population decline in countries that share some of the lowest birth rates in the world. Such anxieties are particularly strong in Estonia and Latvia, where the indigenous populations are in many towns and cities outnumbered by other ethnic groups - particularly Russians - who were encouraged to move here during the Soviet period. Only 55 percent of Latvia's inhabitants are ethnic Latvians, and the figure in Estonia, at 65 percent, isn't much better. Eager to immerse themselves in the new Europe and yet profoundly concerned with the need to preserve their national uniqueness, the Baltic States find themselves at a challenging crossroads.

Excellence .......2007-03-10
The product was in excellent shape when I received it. The book looked as if it were new and bought right off the book store shelf.
Correction.......2005-08-01
Number of Estonians is 68 percent, not 65 percent. Go pick up a Lonely Planet book instead!
Well written guide, but needs more details.......2004-09-27
The Rough Guides are usually written in a colorful, well-researched manner that makes them a joy to have along in order to learn about the places you are visiting while exploring the area, and this book delivers along those lines. Also true to Rough Guide form, however, the book lacks important details regarding transportation: how many buses, how often, where to buy tickets, best routes, etc.
The Baltic countries have experienced a major boom in tourism since EU membership in May 2004, and hotel rooms are booked far in advance. As such, Rough needs to expand their listings to include a larger percentage of hotels. In August 2004 we found all the hotels listed in the Rough Guide fully booked in all 3 Baltic capitals! Admittedly, we did not plan very far ahead, and to be fair to this book, we did not find a major guide with more complete hotel listings.
The Listings section in each chapter also provides a handy reference. In general, however, Rough should expand this section to make it really useful, as listings are a bit limited. They should also start adding sections such as: Cyber cafes with digital photo downloads, Where to buy a GSM SIM chip, and similar sections for the digital traveler, to really make the listings complete.
In each major destination, this book includes walking tours with some interesting information on buildings, churches and monuments, intertwined with history and cultural observations that makes for enjoyable reading and walks. We were glad to have this book along.

A Fine Introduction to Estonia.......2005-08-08
This newly revised guide is an excellent and comprehensive introduction to Estonia, the newly reborn Nordic country on the Baltic Sea.
I have been a regular visitor since 2000 and have travelled extensively around Estonia and cannot fault this book in any of its details, whether on history, recommended destinations or the ambience of hotels.
Whereas some guides tend to concentrate mainly on the capital Tallinn, this one goes on to give extensive detail on the regional towns. To anyone contemplating their first visit to Estonia they should plan to venture beyond Tallinn because that is where the true beauty of the country lies, in the forests and lakes and fields of wildflowers; and this book makes excellent reading on where to go.
The substantial entry on Estonian history is also essential to give an understanding on how extraordinary its current progress is and how a modern Scandinavian democracy has risen elegantly from 50 years of oppression and colonisation.
Bradts : The Intelligent Person's Guide to Estonia.......2005-01-16
I live in Estonia and am now on my indispensable third edition of Bradts guide by Neil Taylor.
This is very much a book for the discerning traveller. The 40-odd pages about the general history, economy, geography and culture of Estonia are excellent. No other guide covers these subjects so extensively. The practical information is always up to date (important in a country where so much is changing so fast) as Neil Taylor visits regularly and has good networks `on site'. The travel information is scattered with interesting texts and quotes from such Estonian luminaries as Ants Oras and Lennart Meri, the Welsh/Estonian MP Lembit Opik (who gives an apt 1-page guide to Dos and Don'ts) and British travellers of the 1930's. In addition I can recommend the well planned suggested tours.
This is the only guidebook in English that concentrates on Estonia without lumping it together with the other two Baltic States. This is very much to Bradts credit as the States are far from homogenous and deserve a volume all to themselves. Bradt's Latvia and Lithuania are also recommended.
Bradt's is always growing and changing so, if you're heading for Estonia and want reliable information about the country's natural beauty, turbulent history, what to see, what to do and how much it will cost, don't go without it!

bradt's guide to estonia.......2000-04-06
This excellent guide is one of the best. Even the very fine guides from the 90s have out of date infomation that this volume rectifies. I appreciate the book's scope and practicality. The new color photos add a great deal. Next time in Estonia this one is coming along.
An Intelligent Guide.......2000-03-22
Although a previous review criticised this book for not helping with the shopping, there are those of us who can negotiate these things on our own, or who went to Estonia armed also with more touristy guides for those matters (such as the fine "In Your Pocket" series). The Bradt Guide to Estonia, however, is for those of us who wish to know more about the history, culture, and especially the natural history of a place before we travel, that we may arrive informed. Indeed, not many travel guides even touch on a region's natural history, but this one does more than that, and also has some good stories that prepare the traveler. It's good reading.

Great Guide for Touring Tallinn.......2007-08-24
It was out first trip to Tallinn so we needed to know everything. This little book provided the answers. We maximized our time in the city by reading about the recommended sights to see, how to get there, the costs, if any. Learning about the history of the city gave us an added appreciation of what we were viewing. We learned information about the language, the money exchange, the culture, the restaurants, the hotels, the accessibility of other cities and how to get there. Thanks to this information, we decided to take the Sea Cat to Helsinki for a day - tremendous! If you're going to Tallin, you need this book as your guide.
Book Description
This lively guide uncovers the pleasures of Estonia’s capital city, from its striking medieval walls to the sophisticated café society behind them. Witty discussions of Estonian culture, from its obsession with cell phones to its enigmatic people, offer a window into this rare world. The guide covers the city’s famed Stag weekends and Eurovision Song Contest, along with its tumultuous history and gorgeous Pärnu beach. Informed commentary covers where to dine, play, and stay, and a special chapter covers gay and lesbian travel.

Book Description
Patrick Sheridan is experiencing technical difficulties...
Patrick's thrilled to become a student reporter on a teen news show. But when he leaves his small Texas town for the bright lights of Los Angeles, everything changes. It doesn't take long before Patrick is mingling with the rich and famous and doing all kinds of things he never thought he would -- like cheating on his girlfriend, lying to his parents, and losing his best friend. And by the time he learns that it was his handsome face and not his writing that landed him his new job, he's left to pick up the pieces alone. Hollywood is already full of beautiful people with no talent; how can he prove that he's more? He'll have to start by convincing himself.

Breath of Fresh Air in Young Adult Literature.......2006-06-28
Satellite Down is a well-written story touching on themes of commercialism and its impact on both teen-agers and the world in general. The main character, good-looking high school senior Patrick Sheridan, is swept into a world where the superficial rule over the intelligent. We get to see the once well-mannered, religious, naive texas native who believes in hard work and real journalism be morphed and changed by ideas of beauty and success as a television news reporter. He learns more about himself and what he really believes in through his mistakes. By the end, he begins to think he had it all right in the first place. Rob Thomas, creator/staff writer of "Veronica Mars" and author of three other books, demonstrates his best work through this interesting and inticing novel that any person living in todays modern world can relate to. In a book with a plot centering on hollywood and the "evils" of commercialism, one would expect something generic and unimaginative. But this is a wonderful story that is not sugar coated but at the same time, is not too angry or too accusative. It does not set the blame on consumerism but on the inability of humans to resist. It is a relatively fast read that will leave you thinking.
Hoping the audience for Thomas' books grow.......2000-05-26
Patrick is the editor of his high school newspaper and he is looking forward to a career in journalism, so when he gets a chance to enter a contest to become a TV reporter for Classroom Direct, a national TV shoe beamed to school by satellite he jumps at the chance. He figures it's a long shot, so why bother telling his parents, they wouldn't let him leave his dusty Texas town anyway. But Patrick is selected and convinces his parents to let me go out to LA and build on a promising journalism career. After Patrick realizes no one read his application(he was selected on looks alone), he becomes disillusioned and ultimately runs away on a soul searching journey. The book ends with Patrick very cynical and leave you with just a mirror to take a look at yourself.
After the publication of _Rats Saw God_, I waited with greast anticipation for the new book by Thomas...after a few years have gone by, this book _Satellite Down_ has placed Thomas back on the top of he list of auhtors for teens. If you get a chance to listen to Johnny Heller narration of any of Thomas' books it's the perfect voice.
lots to think about.......1999-06-17
I finished this book several days ago and find myself still thinking about it. I highly recommend it to teens and adults who want something they can mull over for a while, as well as those who simply want a good read.
My conclusions? I found it interesting that Thomas treats Patrick's disillusionment almost as a natural progression rather than a series of choices. Patrick doesn't seem to debate much about whether to do the things he does; he simply does them. Maybe living in Hollywood is like that for everyone--I've never been there--but I can't shake the feeling that this book tells us more about the author than it does the main character (no offense, Mr. Thomas). That's MHO; y'all read it and see if you agree.
"Satellite Down" is the best Young Adult novel of the year........1998-08-30
Satellite Down is, quite simply, the best Young Adult novel of the year. Patrick Sheridan, the main character, is brilliantly captured at the exact moment in time when he comes to understand once and for all that life is not a free ride. His adventures in the tainted, corrupt, and vapid world of television news, both in front of and behind the camera, are right on the money. The knockout punch of Satellite Down, however, is Patrick's soul searching journey for his roots through the rugged Irish countryside during the latter part of the novel. It is, in a word, flawless. The final sixty pages do more than represent the best writing in Thomas' canon. The closing stands as one of the finest examples of writing in the Young Adult genre, period. While an entire cottage industry has evolved around catering to melodrama and tidy sitcom closure in teenage "literature", Satellite Down dares to wander down a different path. The path of truth. The truth of how awfully life can treat us sometimes. About how it can be difficult, and messy, and without concrete answers at certain points in our complicated, ever changing tenure on this planet. Few authors choose to wander down this path, and with good reason. The possibility of rejection is enormous when you write about the emotional trials of life, especially when you fail leave a pot of gold at journey's end. In past novels, Thomas has masterfully portrayed the language and the urban rituals of the age group he has adopted as his own. With Satellite Down, the author broadens his trajectory by unflinchingly portraying the ambiguities of growing up in an age of constant media bombardment and rootless family angst. Rob Thomas would have done a disservice to the reading public, and the adolescent reading public in particular, had he made the choice most authors would've - pulled a rabbit out of the hat to make everything all right on the last page. Thankfully for us all, Thomas did not. And even more thankfully, he is good company. Would Rumble Fish remain the same powerful allegory to the devistating nature of fate had S.E. Hinton herself ignored the Wheel of Fortune and saved the Motorcycle Boy? Would The Chocolate War be revered as a landmark testament to teenage cruelty if Jerry's resistance to the Vigils had ended with anything other than those shattering blows in the ring? Rob Thomas is one of the few individuals writing for adolescents today who could legitimately follow in the footsteps of those YA authors we have seen fit to canonize. Satellite Down is the next big step toward securing his place in that pantheon.
