A Laugh Out Loud Read!

"I laughed out loud reading this, just as I have done with any other book by Bill Bryson!"

— Maria (5/5)

Neither here nor There

"Love Bill Bryson and this book doesn't disappoint. Full of his humor and travel. A good read"

— D. A. (5/5)

Hilarious and Brilliant

"I read this book some time in 2008 when travelling Europe with my (now) wife and found it hilarious. Bill is absolutely brilliant. I gifted it to a good friend of mine more recently before he headed out on his honeymoon in Europe and from what hes told me, hes loved it as much as I did, 14 years later. Im not sure if Bills observations are timeless, but they are an extraordinary take on modern culture that deserves to be preserved for decades to come."

— Mike L. (5/5)

Funny and quick

"An entertaining light, fast read."

— Lisa (4/5)

Very funny account of Europe

"I really enjoyed this book It's a true and accurate account of Europe but put in a very funny way there were many occasions that I was laughing out loud You don't need to have traveled to Europe or to the places that are mentioned in the book to appreciate the book"

— Hani (5/5)

A quick, light read

"I read this book in just a few days, whenever I had spare time here and there. One night my wife literally made me leave the bedroom because I was laughing too hard while she tried to sleep."

— Justin (4/5)

Neither Here Nor There

"He kind of goes off on tangents (of a sort). It's difficult to get through."

— Princess (3/5)

Fun, Fast Read

"Fun, fast read!"

— ElizabethVictoria (4/5)

Worst inviting advertisement against European travel.

"I bought this book thinking it would be a fun read during vacation. Big mistake. Mr. Bryson has a way with words. That's not the problem. He's funny and you never know how he's going to spin the words for his situation. The big negative of this book is it's negativity. He cannot find anything positive to say about the hotels he chooses (his favorite word is ""expensive"") of the places he visits. Of course it's expensive it's Europe. I did a mistake when I bought this book ($ 22. 00 paperback). I did not look at the date of publication. 1995. Almost 20 years ago. Not up to today's standards of writing and his comments are deja passe. This book should be taken off the shelves or sold at a discount $ 6. 99 Do not think that Europe is as he says it is. It's a lot better. I would not like to travel with him. Travel is supposed to be fun but he makes it a chore."

“Bryson is first and foremost a storyteller—and a supremely comic and original one at that.”
—Winnipeg Free Press

"A breezy and entertaining account of what it is like to be utterly at sea in a continent most of his readers will regard as familiar."
―Independent on Sunday

"Hugely funny (not snigger-snigger funny, but great-big-belly-laugh-till-you-cry funny)."
―Daily Telegraph

"Undoubtedly the most enjoyable travel book of the year."
―Time Out

"This is the travel book that every Inter-Rail vagrant would love to write; the Animal House of the genre."
―New Statesman
