Publisher Description
In Neither Here nor There Bill Bryson brings his unique brand of humour to bear on Europe as he shoulders his backpack, keeps a tight hold on his wallet, and journeys from Hammerfest, the northernmost town on the continent, to Istanbul on the cusp of Asia. Whether braving the homicidal motorists of Paris, 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.
Customer Reviews
Perfect holiday listening
I listened to this, my first Bryson book, while on holiday in Turkey, and tittered all over my sun-lounger. The humour is by no means sophisticated. In fact, it can be quite crude – in an American gross-out kind of way. Bryson spends most of his time looking for food, eating it, or drinking beer. Don't expect in-depth travel writing, this is light-weight stuff, perfect holiday reading.
Happy!
Great book very funny and interesting as per all of Bill's books. Get it!
