Excellent resource on the Kindle app on my phone.
Easy to navigate, concise and the maps helped a great deal, as did the recommendations. Don't recall the price, but probably affordable, as I don't "overpay!"

Decent but not great
Good travel guide but not excellent. The information was helpful but a bit scattered. I had to look back and forth on different pages to find out where points of interests were and how to get to them. The book is excellent if you already knew the layout of Hong Kong. Overall, it's a decent book if you want basic information to help you research further.

Excellent for preparation for a trip!
Just that! Even down to where to eat and shop. All ready to go! Thank you for doing the leg work.

My bible in Hong Kong
Fodor continues to be my go-to travel guide. The HK guide is packed with useful info in every category. Especially enjoyed the restaurant recommendations and appreciated coverage at every price point.

Good, not great.
Overall a nice summary of Hong Kong's main attractions. But nothing very new or special.

save your money and buy the hard copy. This book is difficult to navigate.

Serviceable, but not the best.
I always like having a paperback guide with me when I travel, something to use as a base while I'm wandering; usually I go with Lonely Planet, but LP is free with Kindle Unlimited, so I decided to try Fodor's this time around. However, I've found this one to be kind of sparse for a guidebook several hundred pages long. It feels as if its target audience is staying in Central and spending money on higher end restaurants and activities; much of what exists outside of that is relegated merely to a mention, if that. Further, the maps are inconvenient at best and useless at worst, both because they are usually scattered across several pages and, more importantly, missing most of the street names. Perhaps the assumption is that Hong Kong has readily available WiFi, but the widespread WiFi is available through CSL and limited, generally, to 30 minutes daily; free WiFi is available for visitors, but not if you pick up a local SIM card, which is not just useful but necessary for some people (e.g., I'm visiting family and need to be able to contact them).If you're like me and prefer a print copy, this guide is OK, but not much better than the much slimmer DK guide. I'd try another one.

Great travel book for HK
Can't go wrong when you want a physical book of places to go. Fodor's always delivers.
