This would not have been so bad if more of them had been genuinely funny. On reading the book, I was forever coming across examples of wit which would simply trip me up or stop me in my tracks.<br /><br />It is ironic that while the author praises the terseness and economy of the Shipping Forecast itself, the book is brimming with many pointless asides which could have been edited out to good effect.<br /><br />To put this review into perspective, I don't like Bryson et al either. Once I had read a few of this genre of travel books, I was left with a suspicion that some of the wacky events which happen are engineered or enhanced to add humour.<br /><br />Thanks<br />Kane<br /><br />P.S.
