Add a CommentIt was good book. Really fun to read :)
Enjoyable read. It almost made me wish i could go on some adventure like this
pretty good, a bit slow at times but enjoyable.
People may not like me for this but I personally didn't enjoy this book as much as everyone else. It had a good storyline but I didn't like the way it was written. I also don't think there should've been a second novel. The ending to the first one made sense and they should've left it that way.
Could not put this down. Adventure on each page. A great read. I hope they make a movie, as well as a sequel. Don't miss this one.
Great book. The end leaves you hanging, I guess that's why there are follow-ups. Now I want to travel! This book is full of adventure and romance and is funny in some parts. I never thought that I would like adventure until I read this book. Give it a try!! Afterwards you will be just dying to read the next.
At it's heart, Johnson's novel is a love letter to European travel. Ginny's journey, guided entirely by her odd aunt's directives in each numbered envelope, leads her through a variety of cities in different countries in which she meets a strange assortment of individuals, my favourite being Keith, the young artist with his musical about Starbucks. The novel doesn't make the experience glossy and perfect, Ginny encounters scary hostels, the grunginess that comes from living out of the contents of her backpack, the thieves that prey on tourists, and the occasional moments where foreign travel is just underwhelming. But at the same time she really grows as an individual, going from the shy, awkward girl who avoids standing out to the shy, awkward girl capable of traveling around Europe on her own. A fun read that will have you itching to grab your passport and head off to the wonders of Europe in short order.
