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.
