I usually like Bill Bryson but not this time. It was just a bit to old guy being cranky for this old guy.

I borrowed this from the local library on the basis that it’s the sequel (some twenty years later) to his very funny Notes on a Small Island about his experiences as an American living in Britain. This volume wasn’t anywhere near as entertaining – Bryson seems to have soured a great deal with age – but there are moments of laugh-out-loud humour, though they were few and far between. Still, some very interesting stuff about modern Britain (the ‘modernisation’ is what makes Bryson particularly sour).
