Honeymoon With My Brother by Franz Wismer

April 24, 2006
Book suggested by Judy, and meeting hosted by Pat S.

Our discussion of the book focused on the relationships of the brothers and the character development. Some of us were disappointed in the length of time it took these two men to strongly bond together. We also talked about their relationships with family members and others, and all agreed that we liked LaRue.

Some of us were disappointed with the lack of descriptions of the places the brothers visited. We wanted to "see both sides of the post card." We agreed that they must have seen some amazing sites in their travels, but we were unable to visualize them. For that reason, and for the lack of character development, most of us were disappointed with the writing style.

Some of us found the book to be tedious, and had trouble getting through it. Several of us were envious of, or identified with, the adventure of traveling like the brothers did. We agreed that it takes courage (and money) to take off like they did, and most of us would not do it at our stages in life.

This book is being made into a movie, and the brothers are off traveling again, with plans to write a second book. For more information, see http://www.honeymoonwithmybrother.com/.
