"This was the first book i read by Bill Bryson. It was a cold rainy day in Marbella, Spain, when the barman gave me this to help relieve my boredom. I read it cover to cover in just two days."
"A comical look at England. Bill Bryson decides after 10 years in England to uproute his family and return to America. But before this, he takes one last journey around the country"
"This is Bill Bryson's funniest book; a witty collection of insights into American life from an America who was away for a while. Each is a short piece, which makes this book easy to read on the move."
"Rough guides are a refreshing change from the usual database listing of things to do and see. This book captures the spirit of this beautiful country perfectly. Well researched and written."
