Neither Here, Nor There: Travels in Europe
by
by
An American turned Brit re-does the travel of his youth …
With only one exception I have visited the same cities, and find it very hard to recognize them through the pen/eyes of Mr. Bryson.
If he wasn´t trying sooo hard to be ironically funny in every second paragraph I just might have enjoyed the trip more.
Clashing cliché upon cliché about European cities and citizens doesn´t make a travel writer, at best it makes a moderately entertaining stand-up comedian.
