Neither Heads Nor Tails

This is the second Bill Bryson book that I read. The first about his travels in Britain and this a tale of him retracing a European vacation he took as a youth. Not much of interest here. All most every hotel Bryson chooses to stay in are dumps or modern dumps. He has no luck in picking restaurants either. He seems to whinge about most places and only really seems to enjoy Italy and there he was robbed by a street urchin who picked his pocket of all his traveller's checks. Being unable to speak with anyone as apparently he is a monoglot, he becomes bored with his own company and by the time he gets to Turkey he has had enough and the book abruptly ends.

A Great Read

I have read this book many times. Each time I read it, I laugh longer and harder. Anyone who has lived in Europe or traveled there will be totally amused by Bill Bryson's account. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a book that can be put down and picked up again without losing any momentum. My teenage daughters also loved this book.

Great book

Bill Bryson writes as though he is telling you about his adventures in Europe while sitting at your kitchen table. His impressions of visiting the European countries are both informative and funny.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and have recommended it to many friends.
