Journal Entry 1 by WistfulDragon from Streatham, Greater London United Kingdom on Tuesday, February 27, 2007
Different cover to that shown.
"Bill Bryson has the rare knack of being out of his depth wherever he goes - even (perhaps especially) in the land of his birth. This became all too apparent when, after nearly two decades in England, the world's best-loved travel writer upped sticks with Mrs Bryson, little Jimmy et al. and returned to live in the country he had left as a youth."

Journal Entry 3 by teachie from High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire United Kingdom on Thursday, June 14, 2007
This is different than the other books of his that I have read. It is taken from the pieces he wrote for a magazine and is composed mainly of his wry observations of life in America.
This is now off to camis who has chosen it from the TBR relay.

Received safely today - haven't read any Bill Bryson before so this will be a new one for me.
I enjoyed this - a book to be dipped into from time to time rather than read in one go. Some amusing observations on life in America.
