Outsiders view of the British
Its a nice funny quaint book of our Island, put in a neat package. Enjoyable, slightly dated now but he put an interesting slant on our town and ways of life!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Self-explanatory, don't need more than that.
Bill Bryson gives us the truth about the United Kingdom, including his humour and his occasional grumbles and ironic comments*, it could have been twice as long; which was why I also bought a copy of the DVD he made to go with the book...it could have been twice as long, too. I also have "More Notes from a Small Island, wish it was twice as long, and had a DVD to go with it, as well. *Sadly, he also told the truth when he said the ironic humour has gone from the U.K. I was looking forward to it during my 2019 visit. Gone! And I mourn it's disappearance. Hope it returns - it was much enjoyed.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
