Title: Not Much Substance
Review: In the world of travelogues which I love to read this book is about as lightweight as they come. Yes, there are some amusing passages, but nothing hysterical like some of the reviews would have you believe. I guess the writer has a lot fans, but I'm not one.I bought it because in my many visits to Japan one of my favorite things to do is visit the monkey parks. I thought there might be something about monkeys in Japan. No, nothing about Japan except I believe the author once changed planes in Narita. That's okay, there are some monkey hijinx in other parts of the world which are described. And a travel book doesn't have to be exclusively about monkeys for me to like it.All in all there are many better travel books out there including the Travelers' Tales books. I sort of doubt you'll see any of this author's writing in one of those.
Is the review positive or negative?
