Title: painfully funny
Product review: So I was reading this book late at night and wound up doubled over with my face in a pillow so I wouldn't wake up the person across the hall with my laughing.This book is insightful (I'm sure I learned things about being American, despite being American), funny, and well-written. The one minus, for me, is that the way he talks about his wife eventually got on my nerves. She comes off as a bit of a 50s-tv-show mom, by turns irrational in her femininity and annoyingly wise. That he refers to her as "Mrs. Bryson" doesn't help matters. But that's minor, and maybe if you didn't read it all in one night as I did, it would be less evident. Mostly, this is just a wicked funny book.
