Notes:Part travel journal, part fictional account of the author's trip around a beaten-up post-war Europe with a penniless aristocrat named Cucuface. Cucu convinces Bemelmans to pretend to be a German count, and together they wander about France, mooching off rich friends and scamming their way in and out of fancy hotels and restaurants. Along the way, Cucu tells amusing stories about his relatives and acquaintances.
My Rating: 5

Review - How to Travel Incognito

It's not the worst book I've read, but it was close to the most pointless. What was probably amusing to two old gents getting away with scamming people just reads as silly and self-indulgent.
