oregon_small_fry 's review for:
I felt as if I could have written this book- Observations on how dumb Americans are.
Its not like he is bashing on America or anything, just making rather lame comments on how we live and such.
I mean, agree with him on some things, but this just didn't make for a compelling read.
Bryson originally ran the stories that make up this as a newspaper column every week ( I think). If I had first come across these then, I think I would have rather enjoyed them for their simplicity and humor. But read all together back to back is just to much!
I'll take "A short history of nearly everything" over this any day!
I do have to say this though: Bill Bryson seems like a super nice guy and I want to be his neighbor! And especially neighbor with his wife because she has a British accent. Ohhh I bet his kids do too!
