Summary: Disappointed - Not the Elder Frommer's Approach 2010-06-08
Comment: Although this book provides some useful information on sites and the location of some restaurants, stores and hotels, I was disappointed that the book did not take a more practical, dollar-wise approach to touring Sicily. Definitely not the approach Arthur Frommer would take. Other books on Sicily are more insightful and do not waste your time pointing you toward the more glitzy, materialistic sites.

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: SICILY REDISCOVERED ! 2007-08-31
Comment: I had visited Sicily several times but the Frommer's Sicily (Frommer's Complete) has given me a new insight to areas and things to do in Sicily.
Congratulations !
I recall my first Frommer's book was Europe on 10 Dollars a Day !!!!!!
