This book starts off very well. The alphabet and pronunciation rules are given for every letter, letter combination, and letter plus accent combination. The book then goes through basic every day words and phrases, and in parentheses the phonetic pronunciation is given.
However, somewhere around halfway through the book, the pronunciations given suddenly seem incorrect based on everything read so far. For example, the word "Eg" is always given as being pronounced "ye" yet we suddenly start seeing "eg" as the pronunciation. It seems as though this is not the true pronunciation, but rather copying the letters of the word.
About 60% through the book (this was read in e-book format, so it states how far along one is) the pronunciation completely stops! The words are given in Icelandic, with their alphabet, and the proper pronunciation is no longer given. Although I may have caught on enough to hopefully know how to pronounce everything from that point on, in order to be certain one would have to go back to the very beginning and compare the word with the rules given in the alphabet section (letters sound different depending on accents, the letters preceding the combination, or the letters following the combination).
All in all, it is a decent primer of the language, but it seems like someone gave up and got tired halfway through.

Not what I had hoped. Useful for a few phrases.

Useful for your travels
Lots of useful phrases in here with helpful pronunciation which suddenly stopped halfway through, not a problem if you've gone through it beforehand as you'll have got the idea by then, but if you just went for a phrase in the latter half without preamble you might find yourself stumbling over what can be some very tricky pronunciations! I had hoped for some more grammatical assistance but for the price it's still a useful book on your travels.
