Move over Wild Blood... Walking Wolf is a better book.........2000-02-03
A surprisingly great book with very few downfalls. The life of Bill Skillet (Vargr) is one adventure after another... It hard to believe all he has went through in his short pretender life. I enjoyed this book a great deal more that Wild Blood. The charters and descriptions of the events around the storyline were much more interesting and entertaining. The two downfall of the book: 1. Might of had a little to much Indian history in it. 2. Book was to short.(only 181 pages). I could of read 300 pages or another book on Walking Wolf. Would highly suggest this to any fan on Horror, Werewolves, or Vampires. Give it a 5......
Howls pretty well... could use more bite.......1998-10-21
I really wanted to like this book -- I mean what's not to like about a Native American werewolf story set in the 19th century American West? Well, I did like it some. The hero, Billy Skillet, is likeable and pretty well drawn. The horror elements are not too graphic yet still a bit out-there. There's a lot of quirky humor in the book. On the other hand, the book should have been about 50 pages longer. It seems short, and I wanted more detail on some of the other characters and a little more suspense in the conflict between Billy and the hunter who is after him. There's also one stretch where the author describes some of the historical detail leading up to the Wounded Knee massacre in 1890, and the novel's voice shifts from folksy to more academic. That was a bit jarring. The text could have used a little more editing, because there were a few typos that never should have seen the light of day. Overall, I enjoyed the book with some reservations. Readers who like alternative takes on the werewolf theme may well like Walking Wolf.

Inaccurate.......2006-01-07
First, the good news: there is a guide to the low countries, known pre-EU as the Benelux (for Belgium, Netherlands, and Luxembourg). Now the bad news: it's not a very good guide. I should have known from the inaccurate title--Holland (a subset of provinces) is part of the Netherlands (the country), so the names are not synonymous--but I found out the hard way instead.
I chose to bring this one on our recent trip because it meant I wouldn't have to carry more than one book. I almost threw it away mid-trip after discovering that much of the text was out-of-date, misleading, or wrong. I don't mean things like restaurants or museum opening times, because those change frequently, but things that suggest that the author didn't actually verify anything cultural that he wrote about.
For example, the author refers to the Hotel Royale in Luxembourg as "a leading hotel of the world." Not quite--it's a member of the Leading Hotel of the World, Inc. chain. He also says that Luxembourg City is extremely safe (why, it's the safest city in the world!) and that it's open all night. Actually, the bars close at 1 AM and according to several locals, there is tons of petty crime and the "safest city in the world" title was self-anointed. We found numerous examples of innacuracies in the writeups about the Netherlands and Belgium too.
On the other hand, the maps were decent and it did cover many of the smaller towns that we wanted to see, which is primarily why we kept the book.
My advice is to find separate guides for the Netherlands and Belgium/Luxembourg, and get some good maps from the tourism offices.
I was able to take my trip on the budget I had set........2003-08-21
Leave it to Frommer's to put all the great cities and towns of Belgium, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg in one handy book. This guide offered good maps and suggestions for "best of" experiences. There are separate maps for attractions, hotels and restaurants in each city, all listed by price range. This easy to carry guide came with me everywhere I went and properly lead me to all the best places.

Great guide with excellent recommendations.......2007-09-13
We traveled to Brussels and Ghent in August and used this guide extensively. I definately would recommend this for your travels to Belgium!
Frommer's Benelux bombs!.......2001-03-27
I used this guide book during a recent trip to the Benelux region of Europe. I found the book useful in helping me pick out good restaurants. It also listed the major sites I wanted to see. I did not find the book useful in reserving hotels and describing each site. I especially found the maps to be of poor quality. Many of them mislabeled the location of sites and failed to include important street names that would make it easier to find sites, restaurants, and accomodations. As a frequent traveler, I rely on good maps in guidebooks to get around cities that are unknown to me. Frommer's got me to take wrong turns repeatedly.
Unfortunately, there do not seem to be many books out there covering exclusively the Benelux region of Europe. At least I did not find any that I liked, so Frommer's was the best choice among many bad choices.
A Travel Guide Without a Focus.......2000-05-14
When I first started travelling to Europe 25 years ago, the Frommer guides were like beacons. They had a very definite goal in mind: To let you enjoy Europe for $XX dollars a day. Their books were fun and informative; but somewhere along the line, the Frommer people lost touch with their leadership.
When you try to write a book for everybody, you wind up writing for nobody. Let us take accommodations as an example: They are classified as Expensive, Moderate, and Inexpensive. Now I am not on public assistance by any means, yet I can barely afford Frommer's Inexpensive accommodations, which average around more than $100 a night.
There are guidebooks which are good at accommodations and restaurants but not on sights; and there are others (like the superb DK Eyewitness Guides) which concentrate on the sights. I am hard put to place Frommer on this spectrum. In the Netherlands, he downplays the Zuider Zee Museum in Enkhuizen and the Open Air Museum in Arnhem, yet spends 3 chapters on Luxembourg, including one on "Planning a Trip to Luxembourg." Hello! When was the last time you got the wife and kiddies mobilized for a fun filled 3 week vacation in the tiny Duchy of Luxembourg?
On the plus side, the "Best of..." lists are a useful counter to the general lack of emphasis in this guidebook.
If you were visiting the U.S., you would want a guidebook to show you why you might want to spend more time in New York than Youngstown. Once the best of guidebook series, Frommer has been reduced to cataloguing sights. Where's the excitement? Not here.
A comprehensive guide to BeNeLux..........2000-04-19
It is nice to have all the great cities and towns of Belgium, the Netherlands, and the Luxembourg area covered in one handy book. Good maps and suggestions for "best of" experiences. There are seperate maps for attractions, hotels and restaurants in each city. Hotels and restaurants are listed by price range, and family-friendly establishments are noted. There is not a lot of historical background given in this book, and no photographs. The writing style is clear and direct and not too dry. I found the recommended hotels in Amsterdam to be booked up months in advance- obviously many are following Frommer's advice!
