Neither Here Nor There: Travels in Europe by Bill Bryson

2.0

Giving Bryson a low score here because I know what he's capable of and this book failed to deliver. It was perfectly adequate, but the descriptions rarely popped. When they did, it was always when he described awkward and humorous circumstances. I really like Bill Bryson; I think he'd be a stellar dinner companion, but I got tired fast of all the boob and buttock references. Don't remember him doing that in his other books... maybe he was a good 20 years younger and stupider- this had a 'practice book' feel to it. Worth reading to see how much he's matured as a writer.
