Disappointing
Having enjoyed all Bryson's books so far, I looked forward to the update of "Small Island." I recently re read the notes from a small island and found it just as satisfying as the first time. I lived in both the UK and USA, and appreciated his humorous perception of the differences. However I was disappointed in Little Dribbling. This, somehow, didn't hit the mark. Comparisons between us and uk peculiarities are quite different to the more gentle comparisons of the same places over a gap in time. Perhaps it's because go changes of places with time are inevitable and not as remarkable as differences between places at the same point in time, which are often surprising. Bryson's humour is still enjoyable but for me, not as funny. I can't be,I eve that the reviewers quo Ted in the book actually laughed out loud. I didn't.
This is not a "cant put down" book. In fact, after its stay next to my favourite armchair for over a month, there is still a quarter of it left unread. But I shall finish it, I promise.Read full review...

Bryson at his best
This book is hilarious and also very informative. His encounters with people along the way are brilliantly told and his fondness for the country is quite obvious. Highly recommended.

The best book
Best book I've read in a long time. Have bought it again for several people because it's that good. Made me laugh out loud. Have now bought more of his books and am enjoying those too.
