About this listen

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.

fantastic! love bill bryson reading his own books. far better than the other narrators. hes got a great sarcastic droll sense of humour, very funny stories. the only parts I didnt like were the weird musical accompaniments, luckily they didn't happen often, very irritating. otherwise a great book!

fantastic!

You certainly get an excellent portrait of the diversity of Europe and its major cities. I really like Bill Bryson's narrative style and he brings out the humour so well in his laconic way.

Bill Bryson’s books are excellent and even better when he is the narrator. He has a turn of phrase that few can match and an ability to inject humour into the direst of situations. I can understand why he is retiring and thank him for the pleasure he has given, but from this reader he will be very much missed.

Really enjoyable

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

Excellent
