outdated
Rating: 
Probably an excellent book at the time of printing,but very outdated 2005. Many hotels, atractions and restaurant have been outdated and changed, so it is not really helpful in that area.
Beautiful pictures and nice description of the island and its history
Excellent Guide Book
Rating:
Plenty of info we both found useful. Recommends and not recommends many different things. Plenty of maps and tidbits of info to help you maximize your time in Oahu.
Difficult to follow
Rating:
The information in this book is quite good, however, I found it difficult to follow due to the way it is organized. The book is divided into different activities then further divided into regions. So if you are going to a certain area of the island, you have to flip through to read the review of different things (hiking trails, snorkel spots, restaurant). Also, because of the way the regions are organized, you may not realize that you are physically very close to an area that you want to see because it is in a different region and thus in a different section. The best way to work with this book is plan your itinerary ahead of time step by step after studying the book carefully, which should not be the case for a well written travel book. It should allow for some spontaneous exploration without spending your time flipping through the book to different sections. I still give it a three because the content is quite good.
Hawaiian Gold
Rating:
Going to Hawaii? This is your passport. I could not imaging my recent trip without it. Even though it may drive the people that you're traveling nuts, read it, highlight it, post-it it, quote it, live by it. That's seriously what we did with both the Kauai and Oahu guidebooks. His restaurant recommendations are dead on. We'd drive up to these somewhat hidden waterfalls and there would be three other cars with people grasping their blue books. If you want to see the best of Oahu, always know that your meal will be great, find places that are off the beaten track, find quiet secluded beaches, snorkel with thousands of fish, buy this book. I have friends who are getting ready to go to HI and they want to discuss my trip - well first I tell them that the blue books are required reading for any further conversations on HI travel. I cannot applaud him enough. I wish he could write a travel book for every vacation I wish to take. Plus, he is an extremely talented photographer - I enjoyed the photos very much. THE BEST!
Worth Every Penny and then Some
Rating:
My husband and I spent a week in Oahu. We lived by this book and tried to follow as many suggestions as we could. It is an entertaining read with beautiful pictures and good advice. The pricing is a little outdated as it was probably updated in '07 or '08. The North Shore is definitely "Hawaii" as one thinks of it on the mainland. Anyone staying in Waikiki should rent a car for at least a day and take this magnificent drive.
