3.0 out of 5 stars Whetted my appetite !, 28 Feb 2009
By J. Kaspar Hohl (Therwil, Switzerland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Edward Enfield's "Dawdling by the Danube" is properly titled "... With Journeys in Bavaria and Poland". The latter two refer to cycling trips he undertook in 1997 and 1998, the Danube trip in 2006. The author, who was well in his seventies when he wrote this book, describes in some detail these three journeys and, I must confess, my appetite was whetted to do all three. And that surely is the point of this book. The read suffers from too much digression, though, little having to do with cycling or the itineraries, and not all of it interesting, even if well written. Minor quibbles lie with the editing, which overlooked Moscow being referred to as the capital of Poland (!), as well as erroneous comments on the sentence structure of the German language. If you are interested in technical stuff, such as bike specs, gear and equipment, turn to any of Josie Dew's books, which are also much funnier.

4.0 out of 5 stars This should be another book, 10 Nov 2008
By Martin A. Chambers (U.K.) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Edward Enfield is an annoying writer! He writes a book with the title "Dawdling by the Danube", but the best bits are nothing to do with the title of the book, but are his wanderings in his memory. He states in the epilogue that he has thought of writing a book called Memoirs of a moth-eaten ferret" Well write it dear Edwards, write it. As good a read as is "Dawdling", I long to read your autobiography.

For those who like gentle wit, without bad language. For those who like to be kindly entertained. For those who like arm chair travel, "Dawdling" is for them. For those who want a guide book, it isn't! I enjoyed it greatly. Buy and be entertained!!
