Publisher's Summary
Paris and Other Disappointments is a hilarious memoir about fathers and sons, and the joys and challenges of travel, from one of Australia's most talented comedians.
Adam Rozenbachs decided he would take his father on the trip of a lifetime to Europe - a chance to repay his dad for everything he’d given him in life. After three weeks of travel, Adam decided not killing his dad was more than enough repayment. Frustration reached a whole new level as Adam discovered his dad didn’t like museums, galleries, landmarks, travelling or Paris. But amid the irritation of travelling with an adult toddler (an adoddler), Adam learned - through gritted teeth - more about his dad, his family and himself.
If you’ve ever travelled with family, are considering it or would never even dream of it, you will identify with the pain, pressure and triumph of Adam making it out alive.

An entertaining light hearted and humouros book
I love Adam's work on junk time and his other comedic pursuits so thought I would give this a go even though it isn't the sort of book I normally listen to. It was very entertaining and in parts reminded me a lot of my own father and the funny traits they display at times and our relationship with them. The story is well told and the mood of each situation is well conveyed. There are certainly a few laughs along the way and it is nice and easy to listen to. the only gripe I have is the performance while satisfactory was a little wooden. Some of the comedy is dulled due to the difference between a comedians usual spontaneous wit vs reading a book and trying to convey that fully. It is a common thing when comedians narrate their own books and totally understandable when comparing to a star voice actor. Overall I highly recommend the book, as an Australian about the same age as Adam it resonates with me but I am sure this would transcend to other demographics as well.
