Description

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. After 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.

  • This book was very cute! I really enjoyed reading about the eccentricities of American culture, especially after living in England for twenty years. A very endearing read! I've listened to it a few times on my iTunes.

  • Good but I liked a Walk in the Park better. This book is a bit easier to read if you can only get a few chapters in at a time and its funny to see how fast things change.

  • Bryson back to his hilarious form of "Notes from..." Much less crude and much more funny.
