5 out of 5 stars the best of the best.......2007-03-09

This book is filled with good photos and just what one needs to know about any place in the world they want to venture to and explore.

5 out of 5 stars For the travel enthusiast.......2007-02-14

I love this series from Lonely Planet. It's beautiful and cleverly written. The bluelist isn't designed to give you a travel itinerary or help you get around but presents interesting and iconic experiences weighted by current travel trends. For me, the bluelist is all about daydreaming about the next travel adventure.

2 out of 5 stars For average travelers, this guide is a bust!.......2007-02-11

Unless you aspire to travel like a "Survivor" fan, this book is not for you. It dwells on the most bizarre of activities and destinations that only a fraction of the population could find inviting or affordable. Enjoy the taste of grubs or insects? - This is for you. Got unlimited travel funds, come aboard.
If you expect a book that narrows the world's most fulfilling and affordable destinations down to a practical choice, look elsewhere. This book was a major disappointment with only a few helpful pages.

4 out of 5 stars Good book........2007-02-03

It is a good text. It is obvious that the book's glossy presentation seeks to encourage the reader to purchase/read the other Lonely Planet books by teasing them with just enough information but not enough. No trouble there, as the Lonely Planet series is highly enjoyable and informative.

5 out of 5 stars A Book that Inspires one to Travel!.......2006-08-21

This book serves as an excellent tool of inspiration for travelling around the globe. With its beautiful full color pictures and easy-to-read layout, it was hard for me to put the book down. Lonely Planet does a great job of keeping their intelligent writing casual and intruiguing. I would definitely reccomend it to any reader interested in the wonders that the world has to offer!!!

5 out of 5 stars A highlight of over 400 unique experiences around the world.......2006-05-26

BLUELIST is more than just a book: here it's defined as a verb, 'to recommend a travel experience' - and what better publisher to do so than Lonely Planet which for years has been publishing independent traveler's guide to the byways of the world? BLUELIST uses the knowledge and experiences of the entire Lonely Planet community of authors, staff and travelers to provide a highlight of over 400 unique experiences around the world. Use BLUELIST as a guide: it's packed with color photos, maps, reviews of trends and global events, and insights on the 'best places' to go in each country. From things to take and see to 'defining experiences' unique to different regions, BLUELIST is the place to go for something different.
