Book Reviews of Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe

Book Review: why travel if u don't enjoy it?
Summary: 1 Stars

i found this book to be such a downer. almost every new location he visits there's always something wrong. it might be the locals are mean, some parts of the cities are dreary and could be so much more beautiful, the trains run too slow, god forbid a local that can't help him because he doesn't speak english, or things are just too expensive. waaaah, waaaaah, waaaaaah. you know what? how about trying to find the positive things when you travel and write about those? use the negative things that happen as anecdotes but not the focus. i've been to many of those places he wrote about and have really great memories and i don't focus on the negative. so what, florence can be hot and crowded in the summer, but is that what i want to remember? no! i want to remember seeing the duomo for the first time or walking the boboli gardens. why do i want to read about someone bitching and complaining about how traveling can sometimes be work and things don't always go the way we want. that's part of traveling. he should feel lucky to even have the privilege to travel and probably be paid for it at the same time! the book is in the recycle bin.

Summary of Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe

Like many of his generation, Bill Bryson backpacked across Europe in the early seventies -- in search of enlightenment, beer, and women. Twenty years later he decided to retrace the journey he undertook in the halcyon days of his youth. The result is Neither Here Nor There, an affectionate and riotously funny pilgrimage from the frozen wastes of Scandinavia to the chaotic tumult of Istanbul, with stops along the way in Europe's most diverting and historic locales.
