This was a book I'd had on my wishlist since I saw it but didn't buy it in Borders in Australia in 2007 and then regretted it. Been trying to read it on and off for some months but haven't really gotten into it. Others in the genre, esp "How Low Can you Go?" were far better written It's been ages since I last had so many giggle fits reading a book. My girlfriend thought me mad. Now she reads this and can't stop giggling like a lunatic herself. The story of a man who decides to fly every single Ryan Air route there is and on its way visits a lot of famous and not so famous places on his track through the new Europe. Very poignant and entertaining. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
In this hilarious, no-holds-barred account, journalist Philip Nolan packs his bag (maximum 10kg, please) and takes us on an adventure that is not for the faint-hearted as he flies with Europe 's biggest low-cost airline. Using Ryanair destinations as a route planner, we grab our boarding passes and fight for the first available seat as we travel with him to towns we've never heard of ( Tampere and Wroclaw , anyone?) and to cities we've always wanted to visit. From watching the pilgrims completing the Camino in Santiago de Compostela to cheering with the fans in Frankfurt during the World Cup, from having his alpha waves channelled at a spa in Austria to a little soul cleansing at the baths at Lourdes, from the all-night party that is Riga to the eerie hush of Beauvais on a slow Monday night, we are treated to a kaleidoscopic snapshot of the quirks and foibles of a continent. Ryanair has opened up Europe 's treasures, and a few complete dumps too, in a way never before possible. From Biarritz to Blackpool to Bratislava , Pau to Pisa to Porto, Vienna to Valencia to Venice , Philip Nolan completes a whirlwind tour of the continent he calls Ryanland. The journey is whimsical, wistful and laugh-out-loud funny, as we travel on a spellbinding no-frills odyssey. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
