Geoff Hill's travel writing: what the critics say, Oct 18 2005
By G. R. Hill - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Way to Go: Two of the World's Great Motorcycle Journeys (Paperback)
Geoff Hill has travel writing genius in his very soul. There will always be a grateful audience for his love of life and people and an ability to express it in copy in a way that most of us can only dream of. The funniest travel writer in our business, he richly deserves his many accolades for producing a distinctive brand of travel journalism that manages to combine side-splitting hilarity with acuity of observation and a real insight into what makes cultures tick. Invariably a joyful and enlightening read.
- Julie Shmueli and David Rosenberg, organisers of Travelex UK travel writing awards
Geoff Hill has an outstanding writing talent with a wicked sense of fun. For all the hilarious observations and polished one-liners, there is also thoughtful, informative travelogue with lots of useful recommendations. Brilliant writing, genuinely and originally funny, and a supremely entertaining read.
- Martyn Lewis CBE, broadcaster
Good travel writers are in short supply, great travel writers are prizes. I have been a travel writer and editor for over 20 years, and Geoff is one of the most talented travel writers ever to cross my path.
- Melissa Shales
Chairman, British Guild of Travel Writers
He has wonderful views on life, a great turn of phrase and a great sense of humour. His off-beat observations and zany outlook on life are laugh-out-loud funny.
- John Mullin, The Independent
Shift your arse, Kerouac, Geoff Hill's on the road - faster, funnier and still alive.
- Colin Bateman
We love his stuff.
- Graham Boynton, Travel Editor, Daily Telegraph
Remarkable, astonishing writing.
