Helpful Score: 1

One of Bryson's better books, and true to form it's both funny and insightful. When the time comes to plan my trip to Europe, I'll be taking hints from this book on which cities to absolutely see and which to skip altogether. Bryson looks for the best in the countries he visits - charm, beauty, and a dedication to the true nature of a place. He's quick to denounce "tourist traps" and is frank about places that cost a lot but offer little in return. Regardless of your itch to travel, it's a fun read and good armchair vacation!
