Title: Not Quite Perfect!
Review: The thing that I liked best about "Notes From a Small Island" is the fact that by the time you have finished reading it Bill Bryson feels like an old friend. He is completely open with the reader and is not afraid to laugh at himself. Most of the humour comes from the fact that everything he says about the British is so true! I know that I often fall into the "mustn't grumble" category!I have decided against giving this book 5 stars, however, because Bill does tend to whine on rather about his obsession with cities and how modern architecture is ruining them. This book had me falling about in fits of laughter, especially the scene with the waterproofs, but it would have been ten times better if Bill had just cut out some of the rubbish.In conclusion, however, this book is a brilliant and enjoyable read, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes a laugh.
