Additional Bill Bryson's African Diary Information

Bill Bryson travels to Kenya in support of CARE International. All royalties and profits go to CARE International.

Bryson visits Kenya at the invitation of CARE International, the charity dedicated to eradicating poverty. Kenya is a land of contrasts, with famous game reserves and a vibrant culture. It also provides plenty to worry a traveller like Bill Bryson, fixated as he is on the dangers posed by snakes, insects and large predators. It is also a country with many serious problems: refugees, AIDS, drought, and grinding poverty. The resultant diary, though short in length, contains the trademark Bryson stamp of wry observation and curious insight.

 

What Customers Say About Bill Bryson's African Diary:

You cannot go wrong with Bill Bryson, never. He is a great and funny author.

Don't get this thinking you are getting another superb series of Bryson's observations.He did a quickie trip for some aid organization and seems to have lept from hotel bar to hotel room with an occasional drive-by of some needy Africans.

Funny but no where's worth the money, even if he does donate the profits to CARE.hey, thats my money he's donating. I should have read the other reviews on this, but my error.50 page book. Come on. I was pulled in by all Bryson's other books that I've read, if you can get it for under $5 used with shipping included, give it a stab.but not worth it otherwise.

My only disappoint-ment was the fact that the book was, basically,a short piece of travel writing that ended muchtoo quickly. This slim volume contains Bill Bryson's wit andsense of humanity. I know few other writers whocan capture a sense of place as well as he can, and his humor is matchless. Still, as always, I had to marvelat his wonderful way with words. I look forwardto his next.

Very informative. In his own disarming way, Bryson works very, very hard, and very, very well. Very entertaining. Check out his other books. Or buy them, I guess I should say.
