Neither Here nor There: Travels in Europe by Bill BrysonMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
A travelogue, but with a difference. This book deals with the author visiting a lot of cities in Europe, some where he stays for a month to see the northern lights, or some where he flees off as soon as he enters because he hates it so much. He actually retraces his own path, he had gone over all these cities as a student and came back again to see whether he feels the same way about them still.
I have never read a travelogue before, so I did not know what to expect, but it was really interesting to see the world through a different set of eyes. It made me want to visit these places, to see it for myself. I am not sure I believe all that he writes! :) But he has a knack of finding small amusing stories in each place and invoke a curiosity in the reader to know more and get a first hand experience.
I would definitely read more of Bill Bryson's books after this.
