Notes from a Big Country by Bill Bryson
2.0
"Notes from a Big Country" is a series of essays written for a British audience about America. I love Bill Bryson, but this was the first book of his that didn't do it for me.
Originally, he's from Des Moines and wrote the book after returning to the States after 20 years in England. His tone for me was a little off-putting and came off as a person telling his new group of friends how lame his old group of friends were.
Hate to give a Bryson book a bad review, but this one was a chore to get through. It's a little dated since it was written in the mid-'90s. There are some laugh-out-loud moments, but it's rather tedious.
