OK, so I couldn't think of a snazzy title for my latest post. Any who, last night I finished "Musn't Grumble" by Joe Bennett. He's English born but lives in New Zealand, and as I understand it, is a high school teacher and news paper columnist.
I'm from New Zealand, and lived in London for a year, so I thought this book would be pretty interesting. Sadly, this book wasn't as good as I hoped. Bennet reveals very little of himself, so as a travel memoir is already at a disadvantage. And the overall tone was one of disappointment and enui. I like my travel books to be a bit uplifting, maybe I'm too used to reading Bill Bryson and the like. It's not bad, and will be interesting to most Kiwi ex-pat's, but I'm glad I got it out of the library, and didn't pay money for it.
