Nicely produced; not much use as a guidebook., By SE Asia traveller (Exeter UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: DK Eyewitness Travel Guide: Cambodia & Laos (Hardcover)
I've used DK guides for several destinations in W Europe and have liked them - the format works well for historic sites where basic tourist info is easy to obtain by other means. I bought this because it was the most up to date and also we were visiting both countries. However, in Cambodia and Laos it was endlessly frustrating: having browsed it before leaving we also took a 2008 guidebook - not DK - to Laos (a trusty old friend) which was much more use and bought another Cambodia one while there.We found the tone patronising of both reader and subject. We missed the respectful tone of other guidebook series that we have used. To be fair, DK guides are probably aimed at people travelling in more style than we do but we were irritated by comments such as 'the best way to view Angkor is in an air-conditioned car with driver'. In practice, our observation was that travellers not in organised tours were most likely to hire a tuk-tuk and driver by the day. Places we... Read more

 Somehow, it's never easy. Even if there's an even number of you. Even if everyone has the same meal. And the same drinks. Even the tip can make things complicated.

| Trending: Hardbacks vs e-books: the sequel | ||
 In the world of journalism it's called a "reverse ferret" - a story breathlessly announcing that Black is White, just 24 hours after confidently asserting that Black is Black. In the genteel environs of publishing, it's a volte-face. Whatever it is, James Daunt, owner of Daunt Books and managing director of the Waterstones chain, executed a classic twirl at the weekend.

We love flavorwire.com's new collection of "extremely silly photos of extremely serious writers", which shows that even Nobel Prize-winners kick back and let their hair down from time to time.

His pen-name was created from two characters in Grimm's fairy tales, but his novels had little in common with the moralistic fantasies of mittel-Europe. Rudolf Ditzen was a magistrate's son, raised in Berlin and immersed in Dickens, Flaubert and Dostoevsky. He became one of the greatest German authors of the 20th century, but was not translated into English until 2009.

| The curious world of Norton Juster | ||
 Some people are very easy to interview. Norton Juster is not one of them. He's delightful and articulate, but listening to the recording of our time together, it's striking how much more interesting his answers are than my questions. So our conversation entirely failed to resolve classics such as "Where did the idea for your book come from?" and ended up instead about vocational education, bipolar disorder, obscure Edwardian ghost-story writers, C P Snow, synaesthesia and the walks Juster used to take with his older brother. In some respects, it's hardly surprising; Juster has been giving interviews about his children's classic The Phantom Tollbooth for half a century, so might be forgiven for wanting his conversations to roam elsewhere.

| How Aharon Appelfeld chronicled the Holocaust | ||
 Blooms of Darkness, in Green's graceful, grave and irresistibly readable English version, tells the story of Hugo, a young Jewish boy in an occupied town in eastern Europe who loses his parents to the camps but stays alive thanks to the shelter and salvation offered him by a local prostitute, Mariana. It extends and deepens one of the most remarkable journeys in all modern literature. In a prolific career whose highlights include novels such as Badenheim 1939, Tzili, The Immortal Bartfuss and The Iron Tracks, as well as the memoir The Story of a Life, Appelfeld has interrogated the meaning of what happened to him, to his community, and to humanity itself, during Europe's era of genocide.

| Gwendoline Riley: A portrait of the artist as a brooding young woman... | ||
 Gwendoline Riley was finishing her first novel at the age that most of us were sleeping in, bunking off, or congregating around a pint at the student union bar. Turning her university dissertation into her debut, Cold Water (2002) she signed a two-book deal at the age of 22. Since then, she has accumulated a hipster-ish following and several literary awards (Somerset Maugham Award, the Betty Trask Award, a John Llewellyn-Rhys Memorial prize shortlisted nomination).
