Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe by Bill Bryson
3.0
Erm, I'm not sure how to say, I wasn't expecting this in a travel book (at first glance, at least).
The journey is told in a sarcastic and funny way about Bryson's trip in Europe. I felt that there is no real purpose for the author to travel, except for the sake of the book, so he keeps going and keeps complaining about...everything. The roads are dirty, people are mean to him, prices are expensive, which makes me question "Why the hell did you go in the first place?"
Takeaway from this book: Names of city in Europe and "if you don't have money, don't go, Europe is not as glamorous as you may think"?
Personal note: I read this book right before coming to Sweden for an exchange study. I hope 1 year will allow me to experience Europe myself.
