sls0369 's review for:
I've enjoyed some of Bryson's other books much more than this one. Maybe it wasn't meant for me. Perhaps it would be better appreciated by people from England. While it had Bryson's signature wit, it just wasn't as interesting for me as I'd have liked.
Bryson established his Curmudgeonly Old White Guy cred by a scathing description of a young man on public transportation early in the book. This trend continues throughout the book, with complaints about the cost of things, how things are run, employees at a variety of places.
The short rant on grammar and writing errors was fairly ineffective in the audiobook, though I appreciated the sentiment.
I almost flounced on the "Bruce Jenner in drag" comment, but kept going. I hope that Bryson has since learned the difference between a man dressing in drag and a transgender woman.
