My Heart's in the Lowlands
I've been thinking about how to describe this book... Stupid, was my first thought. But really, it is beyond that. It was kind of like searching through garbage trying to find something useful or interesting. I did find a FEW interesting things, but not sure I found anything useful if I was to ever travel to Scotland. This book was described as "an armchair travel book" by an author who writes best selling historical novels set in Scotland. Well, this travel book certainly did NOT make me want to read any of her novels! The book glossed over everything, so "Ten Days in Bonny Scotland" seemed to not give very many details or specifics about places to visit, things to see, or very much history. The author wrote as if the reader were traveling with her, so she often referred to the reader as "Dearie," (choke.) She often spent wasted time telling about people "we" run into during this tour of Scotland...um, excuse me, but I don't want to read about some fictitious (or real) couple on their honeymoon that you once bumped in to on your travels, or some "Mum" and her "wee ones" at a restaurant....I just want you to actually DESCRIBE in details things about Scotland! I also got pretty sick of the author using Scottish words and phrases as if she were some kind of expert--yes, she's traveled there a LOT, and yes, she writes books about the country, but really, unless you are actually FROM Scotland, I don't think you should presume to PRETEND you are, as you sound like a complete dolt. Anyway, don't bother with this book! (I'm putting it in the give-away pile!)
