Its a nice funny quaint book of our Island, put in a neat package. Enjoyable, slightly dated now but he put an interesting slant on our town and ways of life!

Bill Bryson gives us the truth about the United Kingdom, including his humour and his occasional grumbles and ironic comments*, it could have been twice as long; which was why I also bought a copy of the DVD he made to go with the book...it could have been twice as long, too. I also have "More Notes from a Small Island, wish it was twice as long, and had a DVD to go with it, as well. *Sadly, he also told the truth when he said the ironic humour has gone from the U.K. I was looking forward to it during my 2019 visit. Gone! And I mourn it's disappearance. Hope it returns - it was much enjoyed.

I have bought many copies of this book and given it to my friends. It is very funny and an analysis of British culture. A bit dated now but still...

I bought this book to re=read after many years and it seemed to me to be even more entertaining than the last time. It's a keeper and this time I won't be giving it away!
