Dawdling by The Danube

By: Edward Enfield

Narrated by: Edward Enfield

Having only been to Germany once before to do National Service, Edward Enfield sets off on his latest cycling trip, carrying few preconceptions but plenty of wit. Determining the route he should take from recommendations scrawled on a napkin, he starts by following the 'Romantic Street' along the banks of the Danube from Passau to Vienna, taking in castles, churches and good food along the way. And, as Edward amply reveals in this charming book, there is no place from which to see a country that is nearly as good as the saddle of a bicycle...©2008 Edward Enfield (P)2008 W F Howes Ltd

Honestly, I was disappointed

I suspect it was a case of high expectations based on liking his other books, but this one seemed as though it were general reminiscences lumped together to fulfill a book proposal.

Droll wit

Not for anyone, but those of us that love the droll wit of the British middle class will like it very much. Cruised the Danube a few years ago and his take was familiar with quirky twists.

Review of "Dawdling by the Danube"

Started out promising and quickly became dull and plodding. What a disappointment.
