Summary
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 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. Fluent in, oh, at least one language, he retraces his travels as a student 20 years before.
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. He even goes to Liechtenstein.

Bryson at his very best with vivid dry humour. You can't beat books read by the author.

Entertaining memoir
He’ll go far, that Bill Bryson - a pure pleasure to travel with him on yet another entertaining, informative and provocative odyssey. Looking forward to the next one!

1991. wow
To relive 1991 in 2020, a very interesting insight on how things are still the same and yet have changed.

Loved It!
Inspiring and funny, just down right brilliant. If you're not inspired to leave through your door to Europe or the rest of the world right away, there's nothing that'll make you.
