Great Overview
This book provides a great overview of retired life in Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, and Ecuador, covering a wide range of topics of interest to a retiree or traveler. It gives the reader good side-by-side comparison of everything from rental costs to pets, while being easy to read and entertaining. As has been pointed out in other reviews, there are other books which provide more in-depth detailed information for any of these countries. I found this book valuable in helping me decide where to focus my attention. In fact, I have since bought books dealing specifically with three of the four countries dealt with here, based on what I learned in this one.
I found it to be a good starter for those with a desire to learn more about moving south of the border, but without much detailed knowledge about living in that environment.

Good General Knowledge But Needs More Information
I just read this guidebook for the second time. It provides a good overview of living in Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica and Ecuador. However, I think anyone seriously considering living in Costa Rica or Mexico would profit more by reading one of the other travel guidebooks about residing in these countries. The other guides deal specifically with these countries and provide much more complete information. Similar Products
