Title: A Rip-Off Disappointment
Product review: I have been a Bill Bryson fan for many years, but this book comes off as a commercial rip-off, taking a collection of his newspaper columns, throwing them together, and saying, "Here is my latest book." Sorry, but that will not fly. It was funny in places, sure, because Bryson has the gift of turning a phrase, but much of it just plods along on topics of little or no consequence. I think I've had enough of Bill Bryson by now, though I'll revisit some of his earlier efforts with great pleasure.
