I am not a huge reader but i love travel writing and Bill Bryson is great. Down Under not only tells you about the great country of australia but Bryson is able to create fantastic images for you about all environments and experiences. Its harsh i know but only a 4/5 as there is one fact i know is incorrect within his book. The lyrics for 'waltzing matilda'. He is very close to the lyrics but not quiet right. As an Australian myself his book has given me insight on facts i was definitely unaware and find very interesting. Overall a fantastic read and already on my way to starting a collection of Bryson books.
It is very informative but witty at the same time. The proff of its quality is that it makes one want to visit australia
