Book Reviews of Insight Guide CubaBook Review: Beautiful Portrait of the Great Isle Summary: 5 Stars
Although off limits to American tourist for over four decades already, Cuba has always fascinated American travelers since the early 1900s. The island, which has some the Caribbean's most beautiful beaches and friendliest people has seen tough economic times due to the unjust economic embargo placed by the United States after the Cuban Revolution of 1959.The "Insight Guide to Cuba" is a beautiful, informative guide to this island nation. As an American planning on visiting the island in the future (it is not illegal to visit Cuba for Americans; U.S. law prohibits Americans from spending money there) I wanted to have an idea on how the island appeared like in photographs, and read more about the history of its' people, cities, towns, and sites. This book perfectly captures the island's spirit in beautiful color photographs and well-researched articles that cover everything about the island. Although it is not resourceful when it comes to resourceful information such as emergency numbers, addresses, etc., ... like a Lonely Planet guide, this guide is a must have for anyone who appreciates the island's beauty in photographs. Handy, well researched and compiled, the "Insight Guide to Cuba" rates a ten in my travel book collection. I stare at the book's photographs and almost feel that I am on the island. Until I get there, this book will do.
