About this product

Product Information

From perfectly formed potatoes to adulterous US presidents, and from domestic upsets to millennial fever, Bill Bryson just cannot resist airing his opinions and standing up for his (mostly) law-abiding fellow American citizens. But of course after twenty years in England, he is now back on the other side of the pond, and is obviously having a little trouble finding his true American self again. fter vigorous exercise on the Appalachian Trail comes this edited collection of Bryson's most splenetic comic pieces culled from his humorous regular column in the Mail on Sunday.

  • Brilliant Bryson

    I've read this book a few times, loaned my copy to a 'friend' and never got it back so I wanted it back in my collection. I have all Bill's books. Bill Bryson books are a must, for anyone who travels certainly, but also for anyone who loves a genuinely hilarious and tremendously well written book. My favourite author by far :-)

  • Bryson's usual entertaining style in bite-size pieces.

    Ax this is a collection of columns written for a newspaper, each 'chapter' is only 4-5 pages long so the book is easy to pick up and put down without losing the thread.

    Almost laughing out loud at some of the little essays. Enjoyable look at USA life, often in comparison with life in Britain.

  • Still worth a read

    Having read a couple of his books previously I was disappointed in this one. Not as funny. But someone else may not agree.
