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.
