I am a HUGE Bill Bryson fan, but "The Road to Little Dribbling" may be my least favorite so far. The pages are filled with Bill Byron's typical whit and whimsy, and maybe that is the problem. You still get the laughs, chuckles, and giggles but what spawns them got old - sort of like listening to a visiting uncle repeat a family joke over and over again. You smile, you may even still laugh, but it just isn't as exciting. I can only hear about Bill having a beer and dinner by himself so many times without beginning to feel sorry for him.
