About this listen

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.

Bryson's ability to succinctly describe every day things with such wit and humour is just magical. I really could listen indefinitely! I'm looking forward to listening to the few books from Bill that I've got left.
William Roberts describes the adventures and observations in such a wonderful way. I think the narration is as close to perfect as one could hope to get..
Highly recommended..

A must listen!

Narrator was Excellent. Story was not quite as good as the other book "a walk in the woods". Observations and insights not quite as funny as last book either.

Good listen

Mildly educational, very funny in places, and thoroughly engaging. I loved this. Although the author does focus a little too much on the legs of the locals.
The performance by the reader is very good. Easy to listen to withe the right emphasis in all the right places

Bought to vicariously listen to whilst in lockdown, and enjoyed it in small bursts. It does become a little repetitive in its themes (duff hotel rooms, surly waiters, Katz' bitching) and like all travel writing is feeling its age but worthwhile. The narration is pacey- if you want a smile listen to Bryson read his own books and realise that William Roberts makes a better Bryson than Bryson - but the content could do with an update, preferably with Mrs Bryson along for balance.

First Bryson book I have read/listened to and I was gripped from the beginning. Funny, entertaining, thoughtful. Can’t wait to listen to more.

Loved every second
