1.0 out of 5 stars
Disappointing,

This review is from: The Blue Man: Tales of Travel, Love and Coffee (Lonely Planet Journeys (Travel Literature)) (Paperback)
I expected a lot of this book since it was published by the Lonely Planet, whose guidebooks I swear by. The book consisted of very little travel and seemed dominated by the author's whinging about discomforts and his failures at love. Most books make you want to go to places the author went to despite the problems that come up, but this one put me off of going to any of the places the author recommends. I pictured the author as Niles Craine, (as in Frazier's brother on TV). Not the sort suited to adventure travel.

More promising than satisfying.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Blue Man: Tales of Travel, Love and Coffee (Lonely Planet Journeys (Travel Literature)) (Paperback)
This book left me simultaneously wanting to run into the streets and sing and hide in my closet and cry. The author has an amazing talent for evoking detailed images and weaving sensual descriptions. The pages go through cafe after cafe of longing, desire, mirth, and plenty of other all-too-recognizable emotions. This book leaves one wishing it had never ended.
