Look, I like Bill Bryson´s books. Every time that I manage to get hold of one of his books, I read it. He is able to make the most uninteresting things interesting, it´s a knack that he used to have, RIP. He has made me laugh with this book at some moments, and I re-read the passage of the "estampede" out of the hotel and the proudest moment in Katz´s life. I found the underground fire really creepy. I have already heard of this thing, but I´m sure if it was exactly about this one. I think there are other identical situations around the world.

Bryson also documents himself, but even that, it´s interesting. Maybe not as interesting as when he describes his exploits around the wilderness, but I read everything. I´m not giving it a 10 because there are other books from him which i´ve liked more.
