Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe by Bill Bryson

4.0

Another solid outing for Bryson here. I really enjoy his sense of humor, especially when it comes to the oddities of international travel and some of the illogical things that can occur. I know that some readers get down on him for being too negative at times or even for being over critical, but in the heat of the moment when you are spending money to travel, inconveniences can be incredibly annoying and frustrating and I think Bryson does a good job of expressing these frustrations with humor. There are highs and lows in his travel, like anyone else (Italy vs Switzerland) and it’s interesting how varied Europe can be, even town to town. While this book is a bit dated at this point, it’s still quite enjoyable.
