I have always loved Montenegro, but Annalisa Rellie has taught me so many new things. She is not afraid to express her opinions, and to take a contrarian view - but she made me love the country even more. Rellie might just succeed in putting this country onto the beaten path. Her scholarship is commendable.
Bradt should be commended for producing guidebooks to locations that few other companies (even the ubiquitous Lonely Planet) have tried to tackle.
This books is typical for the series -- exploring out of the way and little known destinations and offering a mixture of practical information and cultural background.
The one flaw of the book is one common to most guidebooks in the series. Information about opening hours for sites tends to be sketchy at best. They USUALLY give hours for museums, but not for other sites. If one is spending several months in a place, this may not be a problem, but if a traveller is trying to plan a vacation and has limited time, it can be very helpful to know when specific sites are open. Also, while the hotel information is quite detailed, complete with prices; restaurant info is also sketchy, rarely providing opening hours/days, and almost never giving more than the vaguest indication of price. ("Moderate" isn't much help, really!)
