I write this as a big Bill Bryson fan who considers his worst to be more entertaining than most writers' best. That having been said, this is a compendium of short articles he wrote for a periodical upon returning to America after decades in England. They are breezy and amusing, but lack the thoughfulness and heft of his full-length books. This is just an appetizer - my advice to new Bryson readers is to go for the full meal, e.g., A Walk in the Woods, In A Sunburned Country, almost any of them - they're all wonderful, funny and full of amazing facts and insights.

An absolute must for those familiar with English culture living in America. I have had many a good chuckle re-living familiar episodes via Bryson's hilariously funny anecdotes. No Anglo-American is 'whole' without one of these in their library.
