A Tall Man in a Low Land by Harry Pearson
2.0
2 1/2 stars
This book didn’t hold my interest and was arguably too personal an account of travel in Belgium —without relating that to a broader target. And it’s a bit random, focusing more on obscure towns and areas while barely touching on the main tourist circuit (a big miss, IMO). Also, his assessments border on mockery at points, which feel malevolent coming from a British man. You’re better off reading Bill Bryson for the information, entertainment, & wit.
