After 20 years of living in England - Bryson, master of the humorous travelogue - gives us a glimpse of his take on his return to the US of A. Sure, there's humor, but the book - made up of columns Bryson wrote for a British audience - quite often takes a harsh view of the country that gave Bryson the basis for his skill. Perhaps I didn't enjoy seeing the ugly of our country pointed out (so much is true), but it wasn't my favorite of the Bryson books.
