As an American ex-pat living in England as Bryson does (though not for 20+ years), I recognise a lot of the experiences and feelings he discusses here. I often think he lives inside my head, or at the very least hides in my office when I am regaling colleagues with fish-out-of-water type stories.

Super-great writer! Really great book - I laughed out loud all day long while I cleaned the house and packed...he cuts through the bull of day-to-day life and makes any situation a humorous one - mixed, of course, with meticulous research and a somber side when it comes to the big issues. I really love Bill Bryson, and you should too!
