Book Review of The Lost Continent: Travels in Small-Town America

The Lost Continent: Travels in Small-Town America
reviewed on


The guy is funny....what more can I say. His powers of observation when he tours those tiny little rat-trap towns along the way are dead-on hilarious! Some places did drag...you can't read this book nonstop....it needs a breather. In it, Bryson goes solo driving through most of the country, and if you have ever spent your summer vacation in the back of the chevy or station wagon with mom and dad up front driving, stopping to read the historical markers, eating at the local dives and sizing up the locals themselves....well, you've got the picture, sort-of. Thumb's up!
