Query: A waste of money

When I bought this book I was expecting an insightful and interesting travel novel, which would give me an idea of what to expect when I visit Holland in March 2005. After reading the first couple of chapters I realised that this novel was going nowhere and gave no useful information for the prospective traveller in Holland, instead it focused on the main character, Johnny, and his relationship with various women.I found Johnny a dislikeable character, lacking in basic social skills and culture with some extreme religious views. One reviewer implied that Johnny was typical of an American tourist. I totally repudiate this view as I have yet to meet an American who has any of the characteristics of Johnny.If you're hoping to visit the Holland in the near future and would like to get an impression of what its like before you go, then steer well clear of this novel.
