Title: Too bad the cover is so captivating
Review: I just finished the well written book, The Best Women's Travel Writing 2005, edited by Lucy McCauley which contained some wonderful travel writing, each written by a different well chosen author. Then I was presented No Touch Monkey. It, too, was chosen by the clever title and colorful cover, which promised that I would be laughing. This book is not funny or interesting (is being really dirty, sleeping on trains when you have no money, getting drunk at the Octoberfest, etc. funny and interesting?). Worse, it gives travel writing a bad name and might stop people from picking up a marvelous book, such as The Best Women's Travel Writing 2005. A bad book in a captivating cover is not a good thing.
