This Book Is Awesome
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I saw this book on the shelf and picked it up because I simply liked the colors. (I'm a visual person)I was attracted to it. I read a couple of the pages and thought, wow this is an easy read ( I'm not a huge fan of long drawn out explainations). After going straight to the section of the book I was interested in I was thoroughly pleased with the information, advice and funny descriptions of certain locations. After putting this book to the test and actually visiting the locations mentioned, I have to say I absolutely love this book!!!! The author is on point. Some of the info has to be updated because some establishments are no longer in business other than that. OLIVER HILL I LOVE YOUR BOOK.
Great guide!

I browsed a few travel books on Jamaica and found this one to be one of the better ones. It is very clear, concise and has great info. I especially like the accommodations section with detailed contact info (phone number, email, website, etc. the price is always accurate due to seasonal fluctuations) and recommended itinerary tailored to different travelers.

Moon Jamaica is my best effort to share all the things I love about the island and inform readers about the best way to experience them. Please give me your feedback so the upcoming 2010 edition can be even better. Thanks for your interest and happy trails. Thanks to all the contributors and the editorial team at Avalon Travel Publishing. -Oliver Hill, author
