book report
book: "Neither here nor their travels in Europe"
author: Bill Bryson
Bill Bryson's first travel book,The Lost Continent, was unanimously acclaimed as one of the funniest books in years. in Neither Here nor there he brings his unique brand of humor to bear on Europe as he shoulders his backpack, keeps a tight hold on his wallet, and journeys from hammer fest, Northern most town on the continent, to Istanbul on the cusp of Asia. fluent in, oh, at least one language, he retraces his travels as a student twenty years before.
whether braving the homicidal motorists of pairs, being robbed by gypsies in Florence, attempting not to order tripe and eyeballs in a German restaurant, window-shopping in the sex shops of the Reeperbahn or disputing his hotel bill in Copenhagen, Bryson takes in the sights, dissects the culture and illuminates each place and person with his hilariously caustic observations.
with the mixture of factual and comical information ill give this book a teen out of teen.
