Query: Not his best effort

If you enjoy descriptions of frumpy resorts, slightly seedy restaurants and near-abandoned villages, this is for you. It pains me to give Bryson only two stars, it really does-but not as much as it pained me to slog through this offering to the bitter end. There are pages and pages of Bryson sitting alone in restaurants and waiting rooms, wandering through rundown tourism areas, and so on. The entire book feels like the journal of a man trying to kill five hours in a boring city between travel connections. Exactly the sort of situation where one longs for escape into a good book. This book isn't it.
