Laurel W. (StrawberryOES) - reviewed on 5/2/2016 + 86 more book reviews

I LOVE Bill Bryson, and have read many of his books, but this one just did not catch my attention. First, the print was very small and hard for "old eyes" to read. Second, he tells about allot of different things other than how America got it's words, and that was interesting. But he also talks about how this word or that word or words were pronounced and I could just not get into it. I gave it a week, to see if it was going to get better, but alas it didn't. I think, for me, the print being so small, making each page even longer was the worst part. If you love Bill, you might want to give this one a try though. It may be your "cup of tea".
