Summary: I'm goin' to Hawaii!
Review: Every year I tell my friends that *this* is the year I'm going to Hawaii - and every year they give me another travel book on the 50th state. This year I received Rum & Reggae's Hawaii and I've finally booked my trip. Thanks to Mr. Runge's thorough (and thoroughly entertaining) descriptions, I know exactly where to go, where to stay, and what to avoid. I've been waiting for a travel book to really tell me what's what for years. I can see I'm not the only one who appreciates an opinionated travel book - there are far too many dull ones out there. This book pushed me over the edge to finally go to Hawaii - quite an accomplishment. Buy it for a friend of yours!

Review: I wanted to let anyone looking for what to do/where to stay/what are the best deals in Hawaii -- that you need look no further than this terrific new guide book from Jonathan Runge.Just as he did in 'Hot on Hawaii', he makes you want to go to places on various islands that you'd not thought of - or even known of before! The research and detail that has gone into this 2nd effort, is first rate and I applaud the time he put into it. If you have only one guide book on Hawaii that you want to keep on hand, I suggest that you make it this one! Tom & Tina Finnigan

Summary: FANTASTIC!
Review: I was really impressed with this guide book! Classy, funny, witty, and very well written. An excellent source of insider's info; from where to have the most relaxing day at the beach with noone around to distract you, to having a super chic, glamorous night out, wearing Prada from head to toe! Straight in to the point, with no nonsense details on where to go or what to avoid. Looking forward for my next trip back to Hawai'i, and Mr. Runge's next guide! (any future books for Monaco perhaps?)

Summary: If you are going to Hawaii... This book is a Must !
Review: Just returned from the Islands of Hawaii (Oahu, Maui, Lanai, and big island) - can't wait to go back and explore the other parts of such a wonderful part of the world. I will say that without my copy of Rum&Reggae's Hawaii travel guide - I would have been lost and probably would have had a much lessor experience. I bought the book well ahead of my departure and used it as the foundation for my trip - setting up an appropriate itinerary, logistics, great places to stay, authentic restaurants, and unique places to see not covered in any other guide books I looked at - The tourist scale rating system was really helpful and accurate - without a doubt this guide book is right on the mark. Not only was the book my best reference while I was traveling, but it also was fun to read about the history and cultural stuff I did not know along the way. As with the Rum&Reggae's Carribean guide book (which I used and would also highly recommend if headed there), I found this book very readable, no-bull, and colorfully different from other stuffy, flat guide books I have tried to use many times in the past. Thank you Rum&Reggae for this book - I will go back with your book in hand! My next trip is to South America - when is your travel Guide on Brazil coming out?

Summary: The Insider's Guide to Hawaii
Review: This is a guidebook that is not only full of information, but entertaining and insightful as well. All of the islands are covered in detail, from snack shops and bed and breakfasts to the poshest resorts. If you want to know where to hike, swim, horseback ride, dive ,or golf, it is all here. I love the irreverant tone, it makes me feel that I have inside information that the ordinary tourist doesn't. Even though I have no plans to travel in the near future, I am going to read the other Rum and Reggae books just for fun.
