Summary: Frommer's Sicily to Plan Your Trip! 2008-12-18
Comment: I also have the DK Guide to Sicily but Frommer's is totally different. The one and two week trip itineraries were really helpful in determining exactly what to see in our schedule. Highly recommend it along w/ the DK book.

Summary: Did the author even visit the westside of the island? 2008-05-15
Comment: This book is a real let down.
The suggested itineraries are absurd. The one week itinerary actually suggests that you try to visit the whole island in one week, which would involve you spending most of your time in the car!
Most of the recomended best beaches are a bunch of flat, crowded, over-developed boring beaches next to the big cities. When actually Sicily is full of beautiful picturesque beaches set amongst interesting rocky cliffs off the beaten track.
Furthermore, it seems that the writer never even visted the west side of the island. There is only 18 pages on the west side of the island, and the Egadi Islands are not even mentioned.
I would not recomend this book, especially if you intend to visit the westside of the island.

Summary: Fact-packed book with boring layout. 2007-05-20
Comment: A nice book about Sicilly, with almost all information one may need. But for a multimedia savvy reader the layout of this book is a bit boring and drab.
I am planning to make a boat trip to several destinations like Malta and Tunisia. One of the major port one will arrive taking ferry from Malta on Sicilly is Pozzallo, hardly mentioned at all in the book. This book is a bit too rigid in the travel framework it has laid for itself.
