Review**NOTE: This review was written about the 1st edition (with the Swallow's Nest mansion on the front), not the second edition (with the painted eggs on front). I've glanced at the second edition, and it does seem to have improved with the involvement of former Kyiv Post editor Greg Bloom.**
This is probably the worst travel guide I've ever read. It completely misses the point of travel in Ukraine. It's constantly referring to the sub-standard quality of virtually everything and trashes all but three or four destinations. I can't tell you how many times I read descriptions of places I've visited an scoffed at how offhandedly they were dismissed.
People don't visit Ukraine for a relaxing week of 5-star hotels and Western European-style tourism. If not looking for family or engaging in business, people come to Ukraine for a decidedly different tourist experience. Yes, it's an experience that is a little rough around the edges. But it's also filled with cheap and convenient travel, incredibly hospitable and authentic people, and rich and diverse landscapes, including snowy birch forests and rocky sub-tropical beaches. All among an interesting mix of European and Soviet history. However, this book is content to write off entire regions of Ukraine.
The LP folks were recently back in Ukraine doing research for the new edition, but I'm not all that hopeful much of this can be salvaged. Go with the Bradt Guide, it's the best guide to Ukraine available. Overview
