Overall, enjoyable read,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Italy from a Backpack (Kindle Edition)
I had hoped to get a glimpse into Italian culture thru the eyes of young people. I wondered if young folks still do the cliche thing and take some time off from studies to travel in Europe. Apparently, they do. This is a book of short stories written by different authors so you get a mix of perspectives and adventures. None of the stories goes into depth into any one experience. Started out mostly with what seemed to be irresponsible behavior and mishaps by young adults, which could be set anywhere and had nothing to do with Italy. But as the book went on, it did get a little better and I got some feel for the Italian culture. Amazing that everyone in this collection of stories went to Italy without knowing how to speak the language. A good many of the stories left me wanting to know more, a few were just boring. Overall it was a light, enjoyable read and I am considering getting the book before it called Europe From a Backpack. I think if you are of the age group 18-29 it would be alot easier to relate to these stories. Being a bit older than that, it was a bit difficult for me at times to relate--tried to put myself back in that age group--would I have done some of the things that these authors did? It was a nice escape.
